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 contact 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.
Agreed, you need to contact QJ for a solution, this is unacceptable. I do not have this problem, nor should you or anyone with this jack.

Which model do you have, I have the 7000SLX
