The Nissan manual recommends to use rubber blocks, LM4519-0000 from Kent-Moore for jack stands. Anybody knows where to get these? My Nissan parts guy didn't seem to know.
Or Is there better way to use jack stands without those rubber blocks?
Thanks.

 

I bought some from jcwhitney.com. I think that they are called 'trolley blocks' and are near the jack stands in the catalog. I can't find the part number but I did post it a while back. Maybe a search would find it.

They basically are hard rubber blocks with a central groove. I use them on the floor jack and jack stands...maybe a little fussy but they work and don't crush the body seam rails.

 

yeah, $6 from jcwhitney, plus $10 shipping!

 

a piece of wood?

 

While browsing a junkyard for a license plate frame, I found a bumper moulding from an old Mercedes that was slotted and is very hard and was charged $1.00 for this 6-7 foot strip. I cut four 4" pieces and with carriage bolts was able to attach to four old jack stands. Just tighten the bolts enough so that they are recessed below the the rubber. Also cut one for the jack saddle.

I use an NHL-quality hockey puck for my floor jack.
