well i used a hydraulic jack to jack up my car on the rear passenger side to take of the right/rear tire and now I have a big bump where the rear passenger side floor mat is. I was pretty sure this is an appropriate jack location but it somehow bent and now it looks like i have a basketball hiding under the floor mat. what did i do wrong? i look under the car and it looks like the jack was in the right place. *shrug*

anyways anyone know a good way to get rid of the bump? I tried banging on it with a hammer but that just pissed off the neighbors.

 

Damn thats funny. Sorry. I'd say screw the neighbors, hammer away!

 

ur car officially now has a tumor!

dam....i agree....id say screw da neighbors and hammer away at da bump.

 

10char....

 

hammer harder hahaha

 

sounds like your jack was not in the right place. owner's manual? hammer away....

 

Seriously.

 

well ill try a larger hammer... damn im so pisssed off... its dented right where that beam is that nissan says is a jack point.. i dont get it. and its the rear too which is alot lighter. grrr

i'll take pics after work

 

pics are soo needed

 

Try a rubber mallet and give it snoose.

 

Fly Igor over and have him sit on it

 

stomp on it... after you take pics

 

 

just flip the car over and do it again from the top

 

wahahahahahhahahha sorry you made it sound so funny.

 

fat friends come in handy on this occasion

 

Just tell pasengers it's a little mouse under the carpet???

 

drop it like it's hot.....

 

again, hammer away

 

I wanna see these pics ! ! !

 

This made me die, lol.

 

 

Sounds like like you missed the jackpoint locations completely

Those middle beams when you actually look at them under the car don't look very sturdy looks like thats where you jacked it up

Good luck

 

yah based on that diagram i missed... crap

 

yea whut he said

 

 

waiting for pics

 

have any pics yet?

 

pics didnt come out too good cuz it was late at night. i guess basketball size was an overstatement but theres defintely a huge bump and people that sit in the back go wtf man. anyways here they are. sorry about my nasty looking carpet.

 

Maybe if you remove the carpet then hammer, that might help. It seems the carpet is cushioning the blows. You make it sound soo funny, but I feel ya.

 

You must have been in a hurry when that happened. You aren't even CLOSE to the jack point....Get that hammer yet?
BTW, where's the orger with MC Hammer as his avatar...Sorry. Just HAD to go there....
Good luck with that, man.

 

Wow, it's not basketball sized, but it's still quite a bump. I don't see how you could hammer that out unless you use a large sledge hammer. That's pretty strong steel. Strong enough not to break through anyways, considering how thin it is.

 

man that is hillarious, lol i never seen that happen before, start hammering.

 

lol @ the basketball under your floor....hammer away!!!

 

lmaooooo dont feel bad, ive got the same exact shyt under my passenger seat, i missed this past weekend....my boys laughed at me too, but my friend had the same problem and he tookt he carpet out and seats and used a sledge hammer.... you'll be okay, kinda funny though....

 

glad to know im not the only dumbass. btw TJ what are u using to detail ur car man. ur sig is lookin sweet.

 

Just hammer away, screw the neighbors. If they call the cops, distubing the peace is only in effect if you make a lot of noise between 10pm and 6am, or any time of the day when you play the radio too loud.

 

I had bought an 99 Crown Vic Police Interceptor that had the rear passenger floor pushed up like that. I took a big slede hammer and by driving it downward (not using it like a hammer, think of trying tamp down dirt), I pushed most of the dent out in a matter of minutes with the carpet in place. Don't try to use a little hammer - you need weight. Or try to stomp it down with your foot.

 

I have a general feeling that our cars are not made out steel but paper. I love my max but from time to time I get the feeling that I can break it apart with my bare hands like what I did to my toy race car with I was little.

 

thats not true at all... you have most of the weight of the car on a spot that is only supposed to support a few hundred lbs..... most of the parts on this car are metal compared to most new cars that have doors that feel like plastic and crap like that...

bump for some pics of the basketball hiding under your carpet!!!
