What are the different types of jacks for Peugeot 607?

So we start our content with the different sort of jacks that exist. Obviously, although generally speaking most Peugeot 607 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 Peugeot 607 : The first type of jack, the most traditional and cheapest of all, is generally discovered on entry-level models, or with few options. This type of jack has just one articulated arm that is positioned 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 Peugeot 607 : It uses exactly the same principle as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will enable screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, on the other hand the use of a double arm will enable to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Peugeot 607 : This type of jack is not standard equipment on vehicles, and is usually just provided with a premium model or bought in car centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much simpler to employ and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and effective model from Oscaro.
