So as of now, if I need to use it on the lower setting, I just lower it so that the bars just touch the safety stops.



When its in the high position, its fine. But it still kinda makes me iffy, hence the jackstand backup. I had a friend in HS who was crushed working on his van a few weeks after graduating.
Dude F that noise, you need to contract the manufacturer. I put jackstands underneath as well, but I only have two SUV-sized ones so those go on the end that I'm working under.
