I would like to rent a DIY alignment tool. I have seen them for sale for $200 - $250 But because I don't anticipate ever doing this again it would be too expensive for a one time use. Does anyone have one and is willing to work out some arrangement?
Thanks David |

I can't write a book on how to do it (actually, I am just lazy).
You are correct that the strings need to form a rectangle with parallel lines to measure from. We place the jackstands about 1' in front of the car and 1' behind the rear to form a "perfect" rectangle by setting the distance between the jackstands the same. The discussion was merely a method of doing it without buying or renting a tool. It will get you damn close depending upon the accuracy of your measurements. Confused? Google it for the complete method. |
