Alloy Race Jack leaking

[grego0o]

Hey people,

Noticed the other weekend that my race jack is leaking fluid, im guessing this mean the seals on it are stuffed and it's not gonna be good for much longer...

I bought this from the toolshed a few years back so it won't be under Warrenty so where can I go to get it rebuilt or serviced?

Any help would be great,

Greg

I knew it! Lucky you didn't crack your skull open under your radiator support

It should last longer than a few years.

The Toolshed would be my first port of call.

Hardout! I was jacking the car up this morning n noticed it again and was like Ahhh, Rob was right!

Yeah will pop into the toolshed when in the Hutt and see what they say.

I remember someone around here has a similar problem and they managed to get a completely new jack (was pretty sure they were outside their warranty period)

does it have an alloy ram? I was told they always fail and to stay away from them.

hopefully its just a seal that can be replaced.

there are places that repair them, if the tool shed wont help ask your local mechanic/panel beater, I have the feeling the guys who service hoists also do jack repairs

I bought an alloy jack but it has a steel/cast iron ram, hopefully it lasts the distance.

My jack from Sulco (a.k.a) the lollypop man came with some spare o-ring seals. So it's clearly a wear and tear thing. The o-rings which the hydraulic thingy slides as you jack up and down wears out. Mine was a cheap-ish $399RRP jack though... some Chieftan (in-house brand).
