I got sick of needing to find folks to do my allignment and my Mom hooked me up with a gift certificate for Harbor Freight so I got these (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) $129 on sale, $10.99 shipped. I got the little $9 camber/caster level, too.
Anyone in the PA area want to use them some time just let me know. Attached image(s)

The short answer is, "sort of."
You need to know/measure the exact distance between your front wheels at center (so toe will not matter). Then you place the plates at the measured distance, drive your car on to them (centered, ofcourse) and pull the retaining pins on the plates. Then you can turn the wheels all the way in each direction and do your figureing from there. When I was in auto shop wehad a set that worked like this. Nice and easy, no need for lazer and IR lights. Quick and dirty for low $$. I think that toe is the only thing it measures, but it mentions camber and caster soI am not sure. I have a level for that, too, though. |
