We tried to jack our 2018 Leaf with a floor jack and rubber frame rail protectors but stopped when frame rail started to splay. The hockey puck-like rubber adapter was useless from Amazon. I've seen metal adapters but they seem to be available only in the USA or ship from China. (I'm in Ontario, Canada). I need something soon, and PartSource, Cdn Tire, and Princess Auto do not carry them. Then I remembered our Prius has a scissor jack. Unfortunately, same problem. How do you jack up your Leaf? Thank you!
Thanks but most of that is for Gen 1, and the Gen 2 manuals are sparse in content, too. https://aar.com/standards/pdfs/2018-LEAF-roadside-assistance-guide.pdf
I had the same issues with the question of where to place the jack, you're right the manual is not at all helpful. I also had the same issue with the frame splaying. I bought a small trolly jack for my doing my seasonal winter tire changes. It's much easier to use, and it has a bit larger surface area to distribute the weight. A home made wood block also helps. I've found that moving slightly farther toward the mid-point of the vehicle (back from the front wheels, forward of the rear) seems to find a stronger position on the ridge of steel. Hope this helps.
