Hey guys..now that my teener is running well enough to drive I need a front end alignment. I bought some simple tools to do a home alignment but don't think I can get the camber right...so I have a toe-in/tow-out tool and a camber measurement tool (just a level like device). My thought was to use this tool to measure the camber off another 914 and transfer this measurment to my car. Does that sound like it would have work?


I need to set the ride height before I go the shop. The odds are the shop will not be a 914 savy one so I will bring the specs with me and have the height set before hand. I have spacers on my steering rack if that helps with the height measurements.

I heard/read somewhere the "A-arm" should be at least parallel to the ground, is this right? Since I have flares measurments to the fender lip will not work here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The rear will stay the way it is now. I don't have the shims and I would like to find a 914 savy shop before I have some one mess with the rear.

Cheers

Ok, I think I got it... a tad bit of low nose pitch is good. I hated it when I was turning the wheel & the front wasn't turning. That understeer thing is really a helpless feeling.
