This is a great video and this works very well. I helped my dad do this method 40 years ago, worked then, works now. People quit being so serious over every little thing. When you grow up poor you learn different ways to do things that work. He tells you that it's temporary until you go get an alignment. Appreciate learning something new.

I agree. Not to get off of subject, but I’ve got an older K member on my 86 mustang and it pushed the front wheels forwards and my wheels rubbed my lower front spats. I used some turnbuckles and had to trim a little to get the right clearance. My front tires are 26x7x15 Micky Thompson. But I posted this too help others in this situation and I thought that I was going to get crucified! My career is precision machining, welding, and grinding. I design ASME section 8 pressure vessels. It’s just crazy how people get way to serious about building and fabrication of restoring cars. It’s a hobby! Have fun, go fast and keep it simple!

Great video, all I say is, once front and back measurements are equal, pull the front measurement inwards about a 1/4" to account for forward momentum that pushes them outwards. That should make them equal when actually driving. If they are equal at a stop, when you accelerate they will bow out about a 1/4" and cause more trouble. Do it this way, no shop or guages needed.

That is an interesting comment. Many years ago I would take my cars to the same shop, I knew the mechanic by name. Anyway, I notice afterward that my car puled a bit to the right on a flat roadway. The next time I took my car for alignment, I stayed and watched what he was doing. He was telling me each step and then mentioned, " I like to move this a bit this way so if the driver falls asleep at the wheel then the car will go to the right instead of into oncoming traffic". It sounded like a nice thing to do, but I told him, " just adjust it so the car goes perfectly straight, I won't be sleeping at the wheel".

One extra thing to check is the distance between the 2 strings in the back of the car and make it equal to the distance between the 2 in the front making sure the strings are parallel. You need 4 jack stands for this. I have a VW Golf MK4 series and you can't just put the string up against the rear tires because the distance between the 2 rear tires is smaller than the distance between the 2 front (by almost 2 inches). Also for the final adjustment, I use a dial gauge (you can also use a ruler) to measure the distance between the rim and the string instead of using the tire's sidewall. As long as your rims are true, it's more accurate than the rubber sidewall. Thanks for the video!

Been doing this for 30 years. The only tip I would add is to level and lock the steering wheel down or have a friend to hold it while making adjustments. Put some sand under the tires so they dont have so much grip. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from left to right [ do not go stop to stop] just an inch or two back and forth. this will equalize the pressure in the rack and pinion. the reason alignment shops tell you it is good is because they dont want to make the camber and caster adjustments. Always get a printout of before and after specs when taking your car to an alignment shop.
@winemandinem23388 жыл бұрын
On higher mile cars it's a good idea to roll the car forward maybe 6 or 8 feet before each check to relieve the stress in the rubber from the wheel turning in place and to allow the front end to settle into its track. What I do is roll the car back, make the next adjustment, then roll it forward and check. Nice video anyway. Another thing to note is the front wheel track is often slightly wider than the rear wheel track, probably more often on front wheel drive cars. This makes the string idea harder to use, so I just use a true straight edge held against the front tire and have someone measure the distance from the sidewall of the back tires.

This the best easiest method I have used yet I have tried many! just make sure the string is square in the back. I had to replace a tie rod end and I used this method it's almost if I rolled out of a alignment shop!!!! THANKS

I've been a licenced mechanic for longer than a lot of these people have been alive and have always used an alignment machine or a tape if the previous wasn't available, the trouble with the tape is it takes two people and you cant measure at the centre of the tire, this has to be the slickest and easiest way I have ever set the toe on a car and the best is you can set up race cars at the track between races with out a lot of fuss, keep coming up with the great Ideas!

Jeff what about if the rear wheels are wider, and skinnies n the front? ... Would u / i then just make sure the string is touching both edges of each rear wheel (causing spacing at front wheels... then make sure that spacing is even(??
