DIY Alignment with Iphone

[sik68]

It just dawned on me that I am always carrying around an alignment tool in my pocket.

As long as you have faith in the Iphone/Ipod Touch accelerometer accuracy (I do....this thing is damn sensitive) you can use it as your camber/caster gauge. Apparently I'm not the first to realize this. There's an App, although it's pretty janky just to lay it up against the hub like they show. I think I'll make a jig like they recommend to reference my wheel better.

Now we can all deftly steal each other's alignment settings while pretending to take pictures of wheels.



EDIT: This sounded like an advertisement...but it's not. You don't even need the app, just the angles from the accelerometer that thousands of apps will give you.
