First, there is a problem getting the tool to stay at the same height on both sides of the car.
Second, it flexes like a mofo in the middle making the measurements no better thatn eyeballing it.

This tool is no better than using a tape measure, no BS. You can only get sort of close, and will still need a professional allignment so what is the point.
I do like the camber tool, but it would be easy to mess up as it has no axial index on it and one would have to improvise (it can be done).

If you would like to find a cheap way to do a toe allignment, check out this post by John Rogers:

Scott, its good to post things. I'm not trying to pee on your idea, just voicing my experience. I would gladly sell the unit that I have (and was given for free).
