Not the base, nor the Jack Mate, but the jack head itself. Mine's driving me nuts!   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 264 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 11:32 am:    large cable tie on the handle...and turn the stereo up...   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 266 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 11:46 am:    Also, is it hanging handle up or handle down? I found with the handle up, it doesn't rattle as much. I also use a old ski binding cover over the head to keep the shit out of it...   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Senior Member Username: Gregdavis Post Number: 1122 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 12:20 pm:    Handle is down. With my low-profile rack, it won't fit turned over unless I mount it on the driver's side, which I don't want to do. The handle is secured. I really think it's the jack head, but I can't see any way to prevent it from rattling. Did the ski binding help, and do you have a spare?   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 267 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 12:54 pm:    It could be the base.••••• outdoor store should have a stuff sack or something like that to protect the head. on a another subject, what r u using for tube bender?   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 268 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 12:56 pm:    i guess you can't use the word A N Y...   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Senior Member Username: Gregdavis Post Number: 1123 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 01:30 pm:    Base is OK. As far as a bender goes, a friend of mine builds Pro-Mod drag cars. He does my bending. Hopefully sometime this year I'll be getting a bender of my own though.   Chad Meyer (Ccdm3) Member Username: Ccdm3 Post Number: 188 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 04:24 pm:    Greg, If you sit the lift handle insert of the jack as close as possible to a support bar for the rack with it in the open position, tighten the wingnuts, and then close the jack it will "not" rattle.   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Senior Member Username: Gregdavis Post Number: 1124 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 04:38 pm:    Thanks Chad, I'll give that a try.   Paul D.

The only thing I have on the jack mount are the beam and the base. I use a bungy to keep the base from rattling. This way the jackhead doesn't rust and people aren't as likely to steal just the beam.
