I have an arcan hybrid jack that Costco used to sell. It’s probably 10 years old-ish. Last time I used it I noticed a puddle, so I tried to find an o-ring and seal kit. Nothing seemed 100% to be for this model and arcan’s customer service was worthless, so I just took it to the shop with me and matched o-rings. I topped it off and bled it.
No more leaking, but I used it this weekend for the first time and it lowers way too fast. So fast to the point it’s a bit too sketchy, landing the car on a jack stand so quickly it makes the stand shift for example.
I have no problem buying a new one, in fact I was looking for a reason to get a lower profile and higher lift jack, but I’m also frugal and if this would be a simple adjustment or fix I’d do that.
Biggest reason to get rid of (besides it being sketchy) is that I’m 6’4” and have a hard time getting enough room under a car with the lift this jack offers. I’m unsure, but I’d guess it’s a typical 18-19” jack height, just a basic non-long reach non-low profile jack.
