there's never a dumb question....right?

how many jacking pucks should come with a C5Z? I assume 4? The Z I am looking at only has two. The owner said it only came with two. How on earth has he been raising the car then>??

None of the C/5 cars came delivered w/pucks, to include the Z's. Myself, I like to keep 4 in the trunk in a small machanics bag. I also have the soft deep well sockets for the lugs(19mm) & also one for the lug loc key. Torque wrench dialed in @ 100l b ft, & all the goodies to repair & inflate the non runs, in case of flat.

Not a good idea to store a TQ Wrench at any setting other than "0" or what ever is at the bottom of the scale on that specific TQ Wrench.

The calibration could be effected and over time what you believe to be 100FT/lbs could end up being much less.
