Today I am going to show you an easy way to fabricate your own front end alignment tool

its easy

you ready?

here you go...

string

and two jack stands

really...

thats how easy it is

let me show you

what your going to do is take one jack stand

and place it

right here in front of the front tire

take the other jack stand and place it...

on the other side of the car in front of the front tire

and then

take the string

you want the string to be long enough

to go around the entire car

jack stand to jack stand

on the end of your string

you just want to have a little loop right there on the end of it

basically just hook it on the jack stand

and then your going to run this

all the way back

to the rear tires

around both rear tires

back around to the other jack stand

alright as you can see I have the string going from one jack stand

all the way around the car

touching the rear tires and back over to the other jack stand

what you want to be sure of is that the string is passing through the center of the wheels

on the front and the back

and that its pulled nice and tight

and you want it to touch the front and rear section of the rear tires

hopefully you can see this

so the string comes right around the rear tire

touches the side wall

then you want to move the string

then move the jack stand at the front of the car so the string is just barely touching

the side wall on the front side of the rear tire

its barely touching

once you have that

you can now see how that string passes by the front tire

so once you get both side adjusted

make sure your steering wheel is straight

the pull your measurements

we know this line is straight off the rear tires

now you can just pull measurements from your tire to your string

2 inches on the front

1 inch and 3/4 on the back

then just go under and make your adjustments on your tie rod end

pull measurements again

keep doing that until you get the same measurement front and back

do that on both side, make sure you steering wheel is still straight

then you are aligned !

the thing that is nice about this is for you drag racers

that want to align your front end

at a certain front end travel hight

you can actually jack the car up, say two inches

to simulate the car actually going down the track

there you have it, alignment made easy

very easy tool to use

it will get you on the road after suspension changes until you can get to an alignment shop

most of the time when I go its right on the number

it works awesome
