Curious any to buy or avoid. Thank you

Also its nice when manufacturers take the time and thought to make things less error prone. Although I cant say the previous tech knew as much as he should have.

Should have taken a photo. The washer was crushed so much it was biting into the threads.

Do you want the jack pad for lifting on pinch welds?

Should have specified, Yes.

It’s hard to screw up a solid rubber puck with grooves cut into it, any should work well enough. I actually use a bog standard hockey puck with mine (I use other jack points besides pinch welds though).

I just use whatever. I had this to use on the pinch welds of my S40:

Seemed fine, but is more expensive now.

More recently I got these to use with my S60 :

Not as big and deformed a bit more than I’d like (though that might be my fault, the S60 doesn’t actually have pinch welds, but I sawed an expanded channel to fit the factory jack points which have a more triangular profile).

I always just use a hockey puck. I haven't had a problem without the groove.

I made one out of a hockey puck by cutting a slot into it. Worked perfectly until I misplaced it. I n eed to make a new one.

I use a 2x4 about 10" long with a groove cut into it from a table saw about 1/4" wide and 1/2" deep.

I just avoid jacking on the pinch welds. Sure would make my life easier to do so though! I tend to Jack up on the control arms. And for the rear on the miata I go on the diff to get both sides up at once. Crushed the punch welds on the other miata like a doofus haha.

I have nothing to add except, thank you for posting cleaned up Amazon links, it’s a pet peeve of mine when people post ALL the extra tracking garbage on a URL .

Hockey pucks, and if you want to get fancy, you can cut a slot in them too.  Super cheap and say to come by here in MI.
