Is There Solution for Scissor Jack with Damaged Threads
Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/14/2024
Question:
I have scissor jacks on my trailer. One of my jacks when in the up position, only backs out of the the jack without coming down. I can manually pull down on the jack while attempting to extend the jack. It won't stay up though. Can it be fixed?

Hey Beau, it sounds like the thread or screw of your scissor jack setup is damaged and that is why your setup won't work properly. Only solution would be an all new jack though like with the part # UF48-979032 that you referenced.
