  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hey all! Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, but I can't seem to find anything that pertains to Equus's and Genesis (not the coupes) that addresses this issue.

I just purchased my Equus a week ago, and I'm loving it. I'm preparing to do my new-car maintenance of changing all the fluids for new ones and I found out that the ramps I used for my old car have too steep of an approach angle and it would scratch the underside of the front bumper. But, I do have a floor jack and jack stands that I was trying to use to lift the car today, and while the side rails did support the weight of the car for a second or two, I noticed that the side rail was warping and bending under the weight of the car when in contact with the jack and jack stands.

Are there different jack points that you all have used or do I have to invest in one of those fancy, thousand dollar full side rail hydraulic jacks?
 
I just use the pinch welds when I lift mine.

After you lower the vehicle back onto its wheels, no jack support, does the air suspension behave? Does the air suspension need anything done?
Thanks,
 
When I take the car off the jack, the suspension sits very low. I press the button on the center console to raise the car up, then I drive out of my driveway into the cul-de-sac. Once I get there, the car levels out and I press the button to lower the car.
