Does anyone use these plastic ramps for doing work under the car? Any reccomendations on which are best?
I like the idea they can be taken down for storage and that they wont rust.
Also ive got a noise thats bugging me at the moment.
Its like a metal click clack as soon as the car stops, only happens at slow speed as soon as the car stops then cant hear.
Its not with wheel rotations.

Ive got those ones.... really good but not great if your car is low.

I don't have any, but the ones I've seen were lower than conventional cheap metal ramps and several times more expensive - I couldn't see any benefit to justify the extra cost.
To locate the rattle I suspect you need to listen carefully from outside the car while somebody provokes the noise and make sure you understand where it is coming from. If it's from a wheel, you could jack that corner up and see if you can reproduce the noise by spinning the wheel by hand. If so, see if you can them reproduce it with the wheel off by spinning the hub. I suspect this will eventually tell you the rattle is coming from the pads, but you'll find out either way soon enough.

They are advertised as low clearance?Ive got those ones.... really good but not great if your car is low.
They seem good, my car is lowish but not slammed, i dont have problems with speed bumps.
Also someone said dont go cheap because they might crack - surely a product like this has to adhere to some basic safety requirements?
