it all depends if u want something to get the car up, and then lift with a jack or just to drive up on a ramp and work under. if u want a ramp for slammed cars, Takata makes something for that case, and then otherwise, pep boys or autozone, advance, etc...makes some heavy duty ramps... |

Whatever you do, make sure your e-brake works well and you use wheel chocks. |

yeah it says to change the washer in the owners manual and on this site in like 300 places.how can you f up installing a valve its the same thing as putting the drain plug back in. |
does anyone know what size the washer and drain bolt are and the easiest place to find them? |
