Subject: Re: Planning next project by BillH on 2016/12/30 15:18:53 It's way easier to go to Sears, buy an eight inch digital level, cut a piece of 1 inch square tubing about 15 inches that fits on the wheel lip. The magnetic base of the level will stick to the square tubing, = instant camber gauge plus a tool that can be used on other projects. Rough toe can be set with 2 string lines hooked to 2 jack stands. The strings need to extend a foot or so past the car so you can measure the distance between them, they should be as parallel as possible and measuring out to each string from the centerline car helps. 20 minute set up. Then you can measure toe with a steel rule to the tires. Doing the adjustments with the spring unhooked will screw up everything. If adjustments are made with the car jacked up, you must roll the car back and forth about 10 feet to take out the camber gain in the tires that happened when you let the jack down. I use string lines all the time. |
