Who does their own alignment?
Saw the thread about making a digital camber gauge, so what else do you need besides a tape measure and roll of string? Also, I have seen some cheap scales for corner balancing the car but you need about 3' on each side of the car to use them. (problem in tight garage) |

I do my own. 2 strings set up on make shift posts. Have been using a carpenters square and measure tape for camber. Got one of them Harbor frieght camber gauges...... Going back to carpenters square (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I also use 2 aluminum plates with grease inbetween under each front tire.
six inch torpedo level gets me pretty close to level for and aft also side to side. Seems to get me pretty close. but the next level of alignment tools would be corner balance scales. |
