Tom,
Your garage sounds similar to mine, ie limited on width. However, I use a small trolley jack at about 30' angle to the car and lift each side separately. Depending on what I wish to get too, I may need a second lift to raise it higher on the stands as it tips to close to the walls in a single lift.
Probably not the answer you hoped for but it does work and of course you'll be safe!
As its a rear end noise, have you dropped Gsuds a pm as he had a lot of work done by Honda so I'd expect most of it to be well put together.
What type of noise are you getting and when? Where the d/shafts replaced as these can wear and give a clicking type noise?
Hope its nothing serious
regards, Paul
