Does anyone know the MB part number for replacement jack pads.
Thanks.

 

I believe that our cars use the Mercedes part number 203 997 01 86. Please verify though. You could take one off and take it to a Mercedes dealership. I think they are around 5 bucks each.

 

Thanks for the reply, I tried that one, it's the same basic style, but is slightly taller and the point where it mounts on the car is a different shape.

 

Here's the part# 5099715AA from Chrysler if you need it.

 

Any idea of how much $$$ ?

 

The Chrysler part is about $35 cdn.
The Crossfire jack pad might have been specific to the XF since the number on the pad itself is not a MB number.

 

Like everything else that you get from Chrysler for these cars..... 3 - 10 times more expensive than getting from Mercedes.

 

Yeah why is thaaaaaat !!!!! Thanks Chrysler !!!!

 

yeah, lets all get in line for the dodge demon

 

How do you replace a "jack pad"?

 

There is a plastic screw through the bottom of the pad. You might have to pry down on the pad while you unscrew it for the screw to get a bite.

 

May I suggest you consider adding a pad to your Jack - also. This is the one that will make a bigger difference overall and you can have a really good support. I use a lift and dont have to hit the mark , just close, but a padded jack would save lots of alignment issues and stress on YOU. Woody

Like 1" thick rubber matting as in horse stalls.

 

that makes good horse sense to me !!!! LOL !!!

 

Add it to the bottom I guess you mean but do not specify?
Why?

 

This is someone who has never attempted to take these pads off the car.

When I was replacing my fender liners, I tried to access the pad to remove it. We ended up not needing to remove it, but in the process of spending 20 minutes trying, it is NOT as easy as removing one screw, it is 'built into' or sitting inside of the side skirt molding.

 

Actually it is quite easy when you get the knack.
Hoody92 is correct, if you pry the pad downward lightly and turn the screw without pushing up it will unscrew. The downward pressure has to be from behind the rocker panel after the screws in that area have been removed to allow the rocker panel to be flexed.
The secret is not to put any upward pressure on the screw insert. A wide blade that fits the slot in the screw snugly helps a lot, a screw driver is too small and it will just deform the plastic.
The pad/screw assembly is a neat idea, simple and effective.

 

Really!, I guess the jack pad that is sitting on my desk never came off my car and I never removed it. I hope it can go back on by itself since I have no idea how it came off.

 

I will eat my words, but saying it is as easy as unscrewing and pulling it off is NOT the case....

 

I said quite easy, I should have said reasonably easy. The secret is to put the downward pressure on the pad so that the screw grabs the pad, and unscrews against it. This unscrewing action collapses the end that grabs the frame.
Not putting this downward pressure on the pad allows the screw to turn and 'jump' over the thread in the pad.
