Whats the proper word for.........??????

Question

the thing that lets down the spare tire from under the truck. Apparently its a long stick like thing that runs thru the hole in the frame from the back onto where the spare tire is to unwind it to let the tire down. I seemed to have misplaced it and I need a new one and I don't know what its called to cal lthe dealer for a replacement

Answer 1

Every manufacturer has a different name they call it. Just call your dealer and explain to them what you need. I would check with a wrecking yard, they probably have one at a fraction of the price as a new one.

Answer 2

I would call it a crank. Say, "The crank you turn to lower and raise the spare tire."

I'd understand.

Technically, the "spare tire crank mechanism" raises and lowers the spare tire into the "spare tire rack" under the truck bed.

Answer 3

Ford calls them jack tools, but if you visit the dealer, they can order them, a more cost effective route is the local junkyard. Just find a vehicle like yours and pick up a set of jack tools and you are all set.

Answer 4

It's called a car jack and the long stick is called a tire iron. They usually come together in a plastic pouch.

Answer 5

Tell them you need a new spare tire kit.

Answer 6

I call it a crank rod for the spare tire wench.

Answer 7

spare tire crank rod

Answer 8

spare tire wrench bar/jack

or tire iron jack wrench........

basically any one of these word combinations should get the point across.

Answer 9

That is called the 'spare-up-jack-gearwizzit'.
Not really -- just lying again.

Answer 10

it is most commonly reffered to as a jack handle, since it also fits the jack
