When removing both front wheels from a vehicle, what should be done according to Technician A?

Supporting the vehicle with jack stands when using a floor jack is essential for ensuring safety during maintenance. A floor jack can raise the vehicle, but it's not designed to hold it up indefinitely, particularly when both front wheels are removed.

Jack stands provide a stable and secure support mechanism that significantly reduces the risk of the vehicle collapsing unexpectedly while work is being performed. Using just a floor jack, which may become unstable due to its design, could lead to accidents, injuries, or damage to the vehicle.

While it might be tempting to rely solely on a floor jack or consider other types of supports, such as electric lifts, doing so does not provide the same level of assurance as properly using jack stands. They are specifically designed for the purpose of vehicle support, ensuring that the vehicle remains in place while the technician works underneath. Therefore, the practice of using both at the same time is critical in any maintenance procedure for maximizing safety and efficiency.
