Jack pads also known as jack saddle pads are pads mounted in the middle of the jack stand and jacking points.
Body jack pads' purposeThe jacking pad is a crucial component that is usually composed of rubber or plastic pads inserted in the jack stand. The main goal of the body jack pad is to protect the car's contact points when it is being jacked up. Also, maintaining the jack pads in a good state will help lessen the chance of the jack losing grip when the vehicle is being lifted. The vehicle has four contact points and the jack pads come in a group of four to match the lifting points.
Common problems with faulty jack padsA set of defective jack pads can lead to poor grip, a lack of contact point protection, and slippage.
