Hi, new 08 TL owner here!!

Anyone around Rowland heights in socal area with access to a lift or has jack and jack stands? i want to check if my rattle is comming from the exhaust heat shield and also install my progress rsb. i bought the rhino ramps and used it this weekend, and apparently the dangers of your car falling off the ramp is very real, i cracked my side skirts cuz the car fell off..........

any helpful info is greatly appreciated thanks!

 

How did your car fall off the Rhino Ramps? Did it roll off the side or did you give it too much throttle and went over and straight off the ramp?

I use my rhino ramps on my brothers camry and friends chrysler to do oil changes without a problem. My car is too low for it.

 

hi viet,

i believe it was a combination of both.................

 

you dont need ramps to install the RSB. I backed my car off a sidewalk and let the rear hang over the curb. there's a few threads on here about how to do it with photos too.

 

I did it in my driveway with a few jack stands. RSB is a very easy install. Where in SoCal are you?

 

LOL ingenuity at its finest right there.

I'm not even being sarcastic I might try that next time since I need to replace my rsb bushings. They keep creaking ever so slightly on bumps.

 

Im in alhambra and have all the tools you need and more

 

oh, forgot to mention... my car is too low for ramps too but i use them on the driveway. i park my car facing out of the garage and place the ramps right where it starts to down slope on the driveway. it actually places the car pretty level that way.

 

my community that i live in dont allow us to work on cars, so i usually have to pull in to our spot and block the back with a second car and kind of work on it without being seen. and our drive way does not have a ramp its just a straight parking lane next to our mobile home. thus of thinking about using the rihno Ramps, but as you can see......the car fell off.......and my a piece of my heart is shattered.........

 

hey Paperboy you think i can come through one of them days to borrow your tools? or acquire some of your vast knowledge and experience on the TL? and maybe you can check out my car and tell me what else needs to be work on! i can Supply Beer and Pizza!
