Working on a friends 08 FLHX with a J&S Jack.

The engine is below the frame in the front, which means the jack is pressing up on the bottom of the right side of the engine when lifted.

The left front bottom of engine is slightly higher, thus not coming in contact with the jack.

I am worried about this problem. Can any adjustments be made to raise the right bottom of the engine so it does not contact the jack. The clearance is very slight when I lift my 08 FLHX, but there is still daylight between the jack and the engine.

Please advise so I can assist my friend. Thanks

 

Just guessin' from here, but I'd start lookin' at his front mount & alignment.

 

+1 Sounds like a badly worn/cracked motor mount to me.

 

Definitely something amiss - engine shouldn't be sitting below frame rail. Time to get down w/flashlight & see why it's hanging low...

 

busted motor mount

 

Thanks, I'll pull his front motor mount and inspect it.

 

I'm sure you'll discover this but it has to be the bracket that attaches to the engine with two bolts and then rest on the motor mount. Sounds like one of the bolts came loose or the bracket is cracked.

 

all of the above.
