My jack is jumping around back there. How is it supposed to be held in the wheel well?

 

mine is laying between the spare tire and body. doesnt bounce around or anything.

 

heh mine rolls all over the place back there. sometimes it makes a nice thud if i turn a corner quick

 

Behind the spare, just underneath indentation in the particle board, is where the jack is supposed to sit. Look for a metal piece that's big enough to accomodate the top of the jack. Raise the jack so that the top part will fit snugly into that piece.

 

yup jack the jack up unti it sits flush against that metal bracket and wont move (it holds its self on there)

 

right under where the trunk latch meets the chassis - just look at the latch and lift the bored, you'll see a metal piece sticking out.

You put the jack under that and twist the thing so it puts pressure on the bottom of the wheel well as well as that metal piece, so it's held in there.

If you don't understand PM me and I'll take a picture.

 

I don't have any metal brackets in the spare tire area besides the one I screw the spare into. That is what I thought since most cars have something like that. Syndacate, I would really appreciate if you could take a pic.

 

i wrapped mine in a towel and threw it next to the spare tire ..no rattles, no shaking around.

 

syndacate sent me some pics. i almost positive i don't have that tab. i knew there was supposed to be something like that!! if anyone wants to see them, i will host. (is that ok syndacate?)

i will use the towel method.
