You can do it with common tools.... hold on... is it Pelican that has the tech thingy?

yes, saw this, I don't have 2 18"X24" 40 guage aluminum laying around. Local hardware has steel

This system would lay against tire not on the rim. That is what I like about pole position fast trak system.

I can use these on rear wheels too when I do the rear control arms

I have a smart race camber gauge it works well, and I set toe with a set of toe plates

10"x24" alum with a bevel bent about 1" in top and botton, and a some slots that recieve a steel tape.

thats the trackside stuff..


have a 4 wheel alignment machine at the shop.

You can get the same digital leveling unit as the SmartCamber uses at Amazon for $85. It's called a SmartTool:

On a 5 lug Fuch, you can take the center cap off and put the gauge right on the wheel. Or, one could easily attach the gauge to a straight piece of aluminum if you wanted to measure from rim edge to rim edge. Or buy the SmartCamber for $200 if you want a fancy $115 bracket.

You can easily measure toe with two thumb tacks, two plumb weights and a tape measure. One of the measuring tools may make it easier though.
