Title: Does SX/4 have a factory scissors jack?
Post by: priya on October 23, 2016, 01:33:35 PM
I bought a jack from a wagon for my SX/4 and it is the long ratcheting jack.  I seem to recall from the fiberboard cover for the spare tire in my SX/4 a picture of how it is stored that shows a scissors jack.  I haven't seen the fiberboard cover for the spare tire in some time, am I remembering this right?  It doesn't seem that the wagon jack will store properly in the back of my SX/4 under the space saver spare.

Pretty sure my SX/4 came with the longer bumper jack. If I recall it wedges underneath and to the left of the spare in the hatch.

Prafe is correct; all Eagles came with a bumper jack, while all the other AMC models of this era came with a scissor jack.   Reason was that the Eagle frame was too high up off the ground for the other models' scissor jack to work (jack would be fully-extended before the tire got off the ground).   If you have a scissor jack in your Eagle, it was probably from a Spirit!

Thanks guys.  Now I just have to figure out how to place everything to bolt down and store

I have the original tire cover with those instructions if you need a photo.

I just took some pics of my jack installed in the back of my SX/4. I am missing the wing nut that holds the hook piece to the part that slides up and down the post.
