JACK PAD when jacking from front?
SORRY I tried looking on here and couldn't find anything. I just need to go under the car to fix my engine splash cover real quick (it's falling off). I am going to jack the car up from the front center right where it is falling off. Do I need to use a jack pad for this spot? If so, any recommendations for which jack pad to use?
THANK YOU so much!!

There should be a jacking pad in between the front and center splash guards.
I Use mine all the time when jacking the front.
Sometime that pad gets damaged or falls out after damage.

It’s more like hard plastic than rubber but still is the front centre jacking point.
Fir the splash guard try ringing some auto dismantlers/wrecking yards

It also has a habit of getting stuck inside the jack pad of a floor jack, so don't be too surprised if it pops off when you let the car down, or pulls the jack head off the floor jack...I've had both happen.
