Portable Wheel Alignment Tools

[Joe_Rocket]

Hey Denny, I would bring it by your shop, if you weren't so far away. Thanks for offering...



Anyhow, I'm only brought up the IROC to make a point and chime in with those who mentioned that a computer alignment is useless if the guy doesn't know what he is doing. I don't have that IROC any more. I'm trying to align my 69 Camaro now, and the point of this whole thread was to get input on some do it yourself tools and perhaps a step by step of the alginment process so I can give it a shot.

Thanks again, everyone.

Joe,

If you want to try and align the car at home these few web pages have procedures on how they aligned their own cars using strings and levels. Take a look at them, they should get you close. At least it will give you a method to change alignment angles at home or at the track to make those incramental adjustments.

Sherline is for open wheel cars but if you take your time, you could probably make similar alignment bars for your car. Just some more info for you.

DYI alignment from corner-carvers.com

If you haven't seen the new Hardcore Suspension thread under the Suspension section, they have the above link as well as a few others for DIY alignments. The link above looked pretty good.

Yeah, actually, that article looks great, too. I like that description for leveling the floor.

Thanks, again.
