In this post, we are going to address a theme that can be of use to all of us. If it’s because you have a flat tire, or you want to change your brake pads, knowing where the jack is on a Maserati Ghibli is necessary. In fact, without the jack, you won’t be able to lift your car and consequently change a wheel, or, access the elements behind it such as the brake pads for example. To get this done, we will first describe the different kind of jacks, then, where the jack is on an Maserati Ghibli, and at last, how to use the jack on your car.

What are the different types of jacks for Maserati Ghibli?

So we begin our article with the different kind of jacks that exist. In fact, although generally most Maserati Ghibli will be equipped with the same type of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Maserati Ghibli : The first type of jack, the most classic and cheapest of all, is generally found on entry-level models, or with few options. This type of jack has just one articulated arm that is placed under the car to lift it. This type of jack is light, easy to use, but does not enable you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Maserati Ghibli : It uses exactly the same basic principle as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will enable screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, however the use of a double arm will enable to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Maserati Ghibli : This kind of jack is not standard equipment on cars, and is usually just supplied with a premium model or bought in car centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much less complicated to utilise and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and efficient model from Oscaro.
