Question:

Rhino car ramps for small car?

I‘ve noticed fewer and fewer car owners change oil at home. My old red steel car ramps were stolen out of my garage last month.I‘ve been changing my own oil since I got my license back in 1970.It‘s like a bad habit you can‘t stop, not fun in January. My old rampshad a 8 inch lift. I did find these Rhino ramps at a garage sale that havethe 12,000 limit. They only have a 6 inch lift like the set they also sellat Walmart. I suspect they are for a pickup truck that only need a few inchesclearance. I had this crazy idea to put some 2 x 4 x 12 on the garage floorand drive up on them first to get me at 8 inch lift. Any home oil changers haveany rituals getting under a small car. I would rather not use a floor jack and stands, not many strong spots on a front wheel drive car. I am watchingCraiglist for a used set.

Answer:

There are plenty of solid lift points on front wheel drive cars, the entire frame of the trans-axle assembly is a very solid lift point. Then stands can be placed on the major sub-frame bracing points under the body of the vehicle.
i use them for most quick jobs and then i use jacks for other reasons like suspension work each car has jacking points generally same place you use to change a tire
