maybe i should get a car ramp like yours first. i have a really cramped up garage where i have to be careful how i swing my doors open when i get home. what would be ideal when it comes to lifting the car up to work on? stands or ramps?

Ramps are much better and safer, isn't a debate really but both have uses as you can work on the car with wheels off on ramps.

thanks for the tip. i thought about it and i see myself removing the wheels and changing brakes and all that etc. i guess stands is what i need but i like the thought of ramps being safer too. Confused

Ramps are easy to use but if you need access underneath with the wheels off you'll need axle stands.

Just saw my reply I meant can't not can I have both and use them 50/50. For playing with the torsion bars for example you need axle stands but for undersealing the car ramps are much easier and safer.

The rear axle will fail & need replacing long before the rust has any effect on it. Unless it really bothers you just leave it, its not doing any harm.
