That really does suck. My Thunderbird almost fell off the lift when I was changing oil once and I was underneath it. I almost shit a brick.

That really sucks Eric. That car was definitelty unique, I’ll miss the stares it got on the street and hearing it a mile away from my house lol.

Jeff told me about this today. Definitely sucks, I just don’t understand how these things happen. Everytime I put my car on the lift I raise it a little and do the shake test. It just seems like common sense to me that you triple check the stability of a few thousand pound car that could crush you in a second.

Both in school at UTI in my first semester, and even my training at Sears they tell you to do this.
Raise it up a little, shake it around and see what happens and make sure it’s stable…

If you can’t put a car on a lift you shouldn’t be working on them, sorry about your luck Eric.

I understand where you are coming from, but stuff does happen. Like I said, mine almost fell off Hybrid’s lift & I checked it everytime. Jay & I were doing the headers & they were on/off about 25-30 times. The truck needed set down all the way every time to access the 2 header bolts on each side. It was when it was down all the way (when the suspension became loaded again) it would push the 2 2x8" “risers” off to one side or the other, which in turn moved the truck about 1/2" each time (of course Jay or I did not notice this - the risers were needed because the truck is too low to get the lift arms under it.). The lift was always contacting the frame of the truck & still had weight on it. All that really happened in my case was that the lift arm moved over & the truck became flexed on the lift. I set it back down immediately and corrected the issue. It still scared the shit out of Jay & I, though. Before/after this, every time the truck was lifted, I gave it the shake test & it always passed.

So shit does happen, no matter how careful you are.

Eric, sorry about your car & I hope everything works out.
