I have seen some hotroder's home alignments done with these cool duhickies that wrap around the tires. All one needs to do is read a tape measure and voila! As for the camber, I guess all one needs is an angle finder that can be used on the individual rims on an even floor. All I was wondering is if anyone here does this and with what tools/equipment? Where can we get what we need to do this and where can we find a good chart for toe and camber for specific applications?

Here's the equipment I know of at Smart Racing Products

Also some good info in "How to Make your Car Handle"

Hope this helps! I'm sure other members have some good stuff too
