The telescopic screw rack jack (article 8450031895) can be a standard jack on Lada Vesta, Granta, Kalina, Priora and Datsun cars. It is made of plastic (both of its screws are made of plastic), so as not to break it or damage the car, it is recommended that you read the instruction manual for this jack before use.
Preparing for work
Position of the tool in the organizer and sequence of work with the jack.
6.1
Before starting work, clean the supporting surface of the car body from dirt, prepare a platform on the ground for installing the jack.
Where to place the jack using the Lada Vesta as an example (there are protrusions in the indicated places):
6.2
Check that the jack has no mechanical damage, that the screw pairs are lubricated and not dirty. Brake the car following paragraph 2.2.
Analogue - which was recognized by Vestavods
The analogue from autoprofy fits into the spare tire niche
If Vesta car owners decide to replace their standard jack with a better analogue, the performance characteristics of the tool and its size become important to them. If a new jack takes the place of the factory one, it must fit into a small foam niche, and not every tool can do this.
One of the favorite analogues among Lada Vesta owners was the AUTOPROFI DVB-20-Lo screw jack. This baby can handle cars weighing up to two tons, but at the same time neatly fits into the niche of the standard Lada jack. The price also cannot but please car enthusiasts. It will cost you approximately: 1500-2000 rubles.
You can purchase other, more expensive, massive and reliable lifting mechanisms, but you will have to allocate additional space for them. If you plan to use it in emergency situations, then this is not economically profitable. If the purpose is to change tires annually, in winter and summer, it’s worth spending a little more money, but choosing a good one.
Maximum lift
Let's test the plastic jack of the Lada Vesta to see how high it can raise the car. The instructions indicate that first the top screw must be unscrewed by 30 mm. In order for the machine to rise as high as possible, you do not need to rotate the body. You need to hold it with your hand, at the same time rest the upper part against the car body, and rotate the ratchet.
This will remove both screws at the same time. If you lift it as before, with the body resting on the ground, then the thread on the lower screw will end earlier than on the upper one. The jack must be placed exactly vertically, since the lifting height will be large.
When lifted, when the wheel has not yet left the ground, the upper screw already begins to bend. As a result, the wheel rose 9 cm from the ground at its maximum height. The main thing is to set it level at first and use it carefully. At the slightest unevenness, the upper screw bends strongly, and it becomes scary to work.
If the tire is severely flat, for example, due to a side cut, then it is impossible to insert a jack under the car.
Device
From the factory it is packed in a plastic bag and wrapped with an elastic band. There is an instruction manual inside.
Advice : to avoid injury or damage to the car, carefully read the instructions, section in the car manual.
It states that this is a screw rack jack. Outwardly it is similar to hydraulic, but the design is completely different. Inside the case there is a thread, two screws - a driver and a slave. Both screws also have threads - one is left-handed, the other is right-handed.
The ratchet is mounted on the drive screw. When you fix the upper and lower support cups and rotate the ratchet, both screws are simultaneously unscrewed. Due to this, the car is lifted.
Where is the jack in Lada Vesta?
Since we are talking about the fact that there is a special place in the trunk of the Lada for the jack, it is worth saying where it is. You can find the standard tool where the spare tire is. There is also a wheel wrench and a towing eye. The spare wheel has a foam niche into which tools are inserted. That’s why they don’t fly around the trunk and don’t take up any special space.
If you are not one of those owners who always have a spare tire, you can use the tool niche separately. True, it will hang around the trunk, so you will have to somewhat strengthen the structure.
Types of jacks
- The machine tools market offers a wide selection of jacks. The most popular of them:
- mechanical - have a limited load capacity, but can be used in any weather: even in severe frost.
- rolling - usually used in car repair shops due to its large size. Easily moves from one wheel to another as it is equipped with wheels.
- screw - belong to the group of mechanical ones, and therefore are also limited in load capacity. They have a small point of support, and therefore are considered not the safest.
- Inflatable - has a large load capacity and reliability, is convenient to use and does not take up too much space. The truth has a high price compared to others.
Any car should have a compact lifting mechanism, since the need to replace a wheel always arises unexpectedly and in the most inconvenient places. If you often travel outside the city, it is better to replace the standard tool with a more reliable one, with the ability to install it on uneven roads.

A model with ergonomics thought out to the smallest detail. The jack does not require much physical effort, and the rotary handle ensures convenient operation in confined spaces. The pick-up height here is 140 mm - optimal for Lada Vesta cars with a ground clearance of 175-178 mm. The model is equipped with a valve that protects against overload. Car owners recommend choosing this jack because it is solid and durable. It handles the load well and allows you to use it quite often. Of course, there were some inconveniences - the model is bulky and quite heavy. But for the trunk of Vesta, especially the station wagon, this is not scary.
Advantages and disadvantages
- High quality build
- Affordable price
- Reliable wheels
- Comfortable in using

The most reliable Mechanical jack is functional and simple. Its compactness allows it to find a permanent place in the trunk, so help is always nearby.
- Characteristics Country: Russia (manufactured in China)
Car owners favorably view the products of this brand because they demonstrate the manufacturers' thorough approach and reliability. The jack is made of strong metal and can withstand the load indicated in the specifications. But this model is not intended for professional use, so you should not expect record longevity from it under intensive use. The carving wears off over time. In reviews, car owners talk about the ease of use of the jack and its good quality. It has a fairly large base, so the structure is stable. True, there is no rubber pad for support. The loop on the screw of the mechanism allows the use of a metal rod as a lever.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Good load capacity
- Reliable metal
- Affordable price
- The carving wears off over time
- No rubber pad
What kind of oil to pour into the radiator?
Each of the engines that are offered to choose from, by their nature, imposes the same requirements during operation. However, there is one difficulty. Depending on the operating conditions, the machine will require a certain oil. Speaking of a universal choice, it is advisable to give preference to synthetics, but the engine accepts other options. The choice should be made as follows: high load - synthetics, medium load - semi-synthetics, rare trips - even mineral will do. By the way, if we are talking about the northern regions, preference should still be given to semi-synthetics - they perform better at low temperatures.

With the highest lifting height, the mechanical diamond-shaped jack provides a vehicle lifting height of 40 cm - a leading value among our participants.
- Country: China
Inexpensive model with a stated load capacity of 2 tons. According to reviews from the owners, such a strength of the jack is visible only on paper, but the Lada Vesta, both the sedan, and the cross with 1.23-1.28 tons are definitely tough for it. It is very compact, which is why many people choose it. The kit includes a folding handle and is packaged in a textile case. Car owners note the stability of a car raised on a jack. They also like the durable rubber pad, which not all models can boast of. This is exactly the jack that will help out when a tire gets punctured on the highway. To regularly change all tires, it is better to choose something more durable - drivers complain that over time the threads in it may fly off.

How to use it correctly
Looking at the small size and flimsy appearance of the standard product, drivers often wonder where to put the jack so that it does not break and can lift the car? Where should the car itself be parked? Indeed, for a plastic tool to help change a wheel properly, not every surface is suitable for it.
Places where the jack rests on the car - for this purpose, there is a place on the thresholds marked with an embossed triangle where the tool should be placed so as not to damage the body. And in order for the standard lift to stand up straight, it has a special hook that can be used to hook it to the car. If you do everything correctly, the car itself will not be damaged when replacing a wheel.
Soundproofing floor x ray
The biggest problem is the fender liners, thanks to which every small pebble bounces off with a noise that even the songs of Stas Mikhailov cannot drown out. To solve the problem, the owners perform sound insulation. It is worth noting that the problem can be partially eliminated by replacing the fender liners. It’s worth starting with this step, since soundproofing the floor is an action that requires a complete disassembly of the interior, and as a result, large financial and time costs. There is no point in describing all types of sound insulation - everyone is free to choose to their own taste, but this event, even without replacing the fender liners, can give relative silence in the cabin.
