Default Re: Alignment question..

I can't help with that my method is crude and probaly be made fun of put car on level surface old in ground drive on lift is really good,I put tops of tires in about 1/2-3/4 inch by using level (camber) make sure top ball joint is trailing lower ball joint (caster) if you can't tell usaully when you have caster and turn wheels car will raise one side when you cut the wheels more caster holds wheels in straight position takes more effort to turn and when let go of steering wheel with wheels turned and car moving wheels return straight faster.Adjust toe to 1/8 to 0 inches in. I've used this method since I have been 16 now 42
always works for me took a few to alignment guys and they said they could'nt improve any
maybe I'm lucky or they are lazy I don't know but my cars drive good let go of steering wheel they go straight, they roll easy.I had 66 chevyII when I was 16 used this method and you could put front tire on dotted lines and car would drive down dotted line by it's self then when got on Dbl.yellow would drive right down center of lines even would go around slight curves. was real cool trick called it autopilot.
I'll probaly be made fun of but it works for me.
