When attempting to jack up my 88 W126 today, the jack kicked out, damaged my jack point hole when the car fell. It was on level concrete ground, so I am not sure what happened. The jack looks like new and I am sure its the right that came with the car, since it has the same date as the car was made stamped on it, but it seems like it does not fit the car properly.
It was like the jack popped out of the bottom of the hole. I am not sure what happened. Has anyone else experienced this?
I normally use the hydraulic jack, but it was out of oil. Needless to say I went to get some and will use it from now on.
Here are some photos of the damage.... now I am wondering if this will start rusting prematurely?
