In this post, we are going to treat a theme that can be of use to most 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 PORSCHE PANAMERA is necessary. Obviously, without the jack, you won’t have the ability to lift your car and therefore change a wheel, or, access the components behind it such as the brake pads for example. To do this, we will first describe the different sort of jacks, then, where the jack is on an PORSCHE PANAMERA, and finally, how to use the jack on your car.

What are the different types of jacks for PORSCHE PANAMERA?

So we start our content with the different sort of jacks that exist. Obviously, although in general most PORSCHE PANAMERA 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 PORSCHE PANAMERA : The first type of jack, the most traditional and cheapest of all, is generally identified on entry-level models, or with few options. This type of jack has only one articulated arm that is situated under the car to lift it. This type of jack is light, easy to use, but does not allow you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for PORSCHE PANAMERA : It uses exactly similar basic principle as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will allow screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, however the use of a double arm will allow to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for PORSCHE PANAMERA : This form of jack is not standard equipment on vehicles, and is usually only provided 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 use 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.
