That method will center it to the body of the car but not to the suspension. Best DIY way is to buy a roll of the thick brown postal paper and tape that down to the concrete below the rear half of the car. Drop some plumb bobs below the rear axle to create/draw the axle on the paper. Drop a plumb Bob to mark the position of the axle and body side mounting points of the Lower control arm and connect those points to make a line representing the lower control arm. Use a carpenters square to verify the lines you dropped of the rear axles and LCA are perpendicular to the body mount of the LCA. If they are not then just measure over how far the axle needs to move laterally, move it and recheck.

Mark Burton I am in complete agreement. I should retitle the video. The main reason I did this was to center the rear in the fenders for tire size. Thank you for explaining this so people can do this to truly center the rear end. 👍

The car feels a little different between a left slow turn to a right slow turn... but I'm un-sure if this is due to the fact that the steering has been converted to RHD or not. I have had the front and rear springs re-set, not so much "lowered", but slightly different to original. I am also having wheel-hop on the left hand side, so there could be an in-balance here.
