Re: [DML] still clonking

By placing the car on ramps you cam achieve this. It will keep the 
weight on the suspension at the same time giving you access to under 
the car safely. You may want to jack the car up and placing the ramps 
under the wheels then lower the car onto the ramps. You won't have to 
worry about driving it up onto the ramp and pray that you have enough 
ground clearance.
