Question 1066 in the bank

Where would you place the jack stand while changing a wheel?

  1. The place is insignificant.
  2. Correct answer: In the place that was marked by the manufacturer, or in another strong and safe place, close to the wheel you want to replace.
  3. As close as possible to the vehicle’s rear.
  4. At the most convenient place for the driver.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In the place that was marked by the manufacturer, or in another strong and safe place, close to the wheel you want to replace.

Place the jack at the lifting point marked by the manufacturer, or at another strong and safe spot close to the wheel being changed. These points are reinforced to carry the vehicle's weight, so the car lifts steadily without slipping off the jack or denting the body. Choosing a spot just because it is convenient, or at random, can make the vehicle fall and injure whoever is changing the wheel.

Topic: Know your vehicle. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Private car (B).
