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) |

Level is close such as a garage floor. Put some weight to equal the driver in the left seat and have enough room to roll the car some after adjustments. There is an article I did on the Bird Board that shows how to make a simple toe gauge and use the carpenter's square to set camber with conversions from fractions of an inch to degrees. It is good only for 15 inch wheels though. While doing it at home is not as good as a pro shop it'll get you close and after doing one wheel, roll the car and recheck both sides. Good luck.
