Hey guys so my rear passenger stand isn’t grabbing whilst the other 3 are and are very sturdy. I’ve attached a video and would like to know if you guys think it’s safe to work under. BTW these are the stands i have

CARTMAN 6 Ton Jack Stands with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKXRCRZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I would adjust the height of the stand or find a more secure position for it. The floor that you are working on may not be level.

^ Agreed - and if you absolutely must work under there, throw a wheel underneath next to the jack for additional safety measure.

Yeah its the uneven ground and one of the other Jack's is causing enough support to hold it up. As long as it's under that point though for safety then it is fine. I would definitely work under there. I also do that tire trick like others have said.

+ 1 to everyone else

car is definitely leaning/not level

It isn't something i'd worry about too much considering they're 6 ton stands and its a CTR sitting on them. You can get more and place them along the frame/control arms for redundancy

it’s fineeeeee. it’s on it’s lowest setting. the car isnt going to fall on you.

Also the car doesnt even weigh 1.5 tons total, and each of those stands is rated for 6 tons per.
