I would like to check the alignment of my trailer arms before I recondition them for the LE. I know there's a Lamont guy in CA that had a jig for 914 trailing arms, which he used to reinforcement the arms. My main concern is the driver side that got hit in an accident long ago. Does anyone know of anyone that can do this check? Tangerine Racing no longer does it and Elephant and PMB provide a reinforcement service. Is there any way I can DIY?

There is a measurement in the Haynes manual (photo and measurement taken from the factory manuals). I don't remember what it is off the top of my head, but thumb through the manual. It's a photo of the trailing arm from the side, with a couple of parallel lines drawn and a measurement, I believe.,
