I’ve had success with my alignment methods, however let’s discuss the disadvantages and advantages compared the alignment methods offered by the purpose made tools I mentioned in the beginning of the article.Īs far as the turn plates go, my turn plates have a huge advantage compared most other turn plates, simply because they double as slip plates. Don’t forget to center your wheel before taking measurements! Also make sure that you recenter it every time you adjust the toe, as it tends to move the wheel a little bit.

Pro tip: turn on your underglow to help you see in the dark when making adjustments. This means I have toe out, 4/16” or 2/8” toe out to be exact. In this picture, you can see that the front the lip measured smaller than the rear of the lip. Just don’t get confused with whether you have toe in or toe out. Simply measure the distance from the string to the front and back of the lip. Now that the strings are square, we can measure the toe. After you’re done adjusting them left to right, I also recommend you recheck the front to back distance, as it may have been thrown off slightly. I usually just lightly tap the ends with my fingers to move them left or right. In that case, you may have to measure from the string to the frame rails by sticking the tape through the spokes or something (although if your control arms are unequal, it’s usually because your frame rail is twisted, so that may not be a good reference point either).īe very careful when adjusting the bars, as it’s very easy for them to be knocked over. However, if you believe that your control arm lengths are unequal from left to right, or your camber is not symmetrical, then the center caps may not be an accurate reference. I usually measure from my wheel center caps to the string. You only need to match the distance on the front wheels, and the rear wheels. It’s important to remember that the distance does not have to be equal between the front and rear wheels, as your track width may be different. We do this by moving the bars left or right until the distance from the string to the wheel hub on adjacent wheels is equal. The last step is to make sure that the strings are perfectly parallel to the centerline of the car.
