Looks like an interesting tool for DIY work. Something I noticed is you didn't utilize a slip plate over your front wheels. Turning the wheels back and forth while stationary will cause the suspension bushings to bind a small amount and not give you dead accurate angles. A super easy DIY slip plate set up is to have a stack of waxy paper sheets (like junk mail) under your tires.

As a technical trainer and experienced alignment technician, I can’t take videos or products like this seriously. Proper wheel alignment begins with a thorough vehicle inspection and preparation. Ensuring the vehicle is properly loaded onto a level surface and achieving correct and even ride height is also critical for accuracy. The suspension must be jounced on turn plates and/or slip plates at all four corners to eliminate potential binding or compliance issues, as well as any end play in the suspension, steering, or rolling stock. If you’re using the wheels of the vehicle as a reference point, you must measure the runout of each wheel and ensure it is either zero or within an acceptable tolerance that does not exceed the specification you are aiming for. That said, if you start short on these steps, you will end up short on the accuracy and precision that any measurement apparatus can offer. I’ve seen so-called professional alignment technicians either get these steps wrong or skip them entirely, often failing miserably to achieve the desired results, even with real commercial or industrial alignment equipment.

This tool is also complete bullshit, it's relying on absolute attitude reported by the phones IMU, which in the yaw orientation especially is absolutely not accurate as it uses the magnetic compass and a fusion of other relative, (i.e. they only know the rate of change not the true value) sensors. Basically you walking from one side of the vehicle to the other you're almost guaranteed to be a couple of degrees off from even the slightest bit of magnetism in the wheels or panels. A tape measure would achieve far more accurate results for toe in. Camber you can probably get away with using a $10 digital level as it's just the vector offset from where gravity is pointing, but since your toe is affected by changing either caster or camber and vice versa you're still shit out of luck getting a good alignment.

If the graphic representation of the wheels displaying the Ackermann angle was correct (vehicle turning right) then the vehicle has been screwed up by someone, the inside wheel should turn a greater angle than the outside, the only way this could occur is by moving the steering rack behind the axle line, swopping the hubs side to side and keeping the same steering arms on the hubs.

On the Tiger, the turning radius were reversed, i.e. the inside wheel had a larger turning radius (26 degrees & 5 minutes), that the outside wheel (30 degrees & 15 minutes), at full lock. www.tigersunited.com/techtips/PaulickAckerman/pt-PaulickAckerman1.asp

The real trick is in the software and I would be totally on board if they would sell an inexpensive one time purchase license that would allow me to align all of my cars as many times as I want to and for as long as I want to continue using it. I'm hoping a competitor shows up on the scene with a more reasonable pricing model at some point. As it is this thing isn't even cheaper than the lifetime alignments that I currently buy from the local Firestone shop.

These guys on here yiping about thrust angle read too many comic books😂 Thrust angle on a solid rear axle car is determined by how square the rear axle is mounted on the frame rails. Most people are not going to cut/reweld mount brackets to perfectly sguare the axle, so it is what it is. When total toe is set to what you want, road test, lf steering wheel is off center, adjust tie rod sleeves on each side to bring wheel to center. I would use turn tables under wheels so suspension is not binding when turning for caster measurement. Also you need to know how many degrees your turning the wheels during this measurement. Nice quick check tool, in my mind not a replacement for traditional measuring methods.

ummm... there is no way this is as accurate as if you had it done on say a Hunter, since it totally omits runout compensation. If you omit runout compensation the alignment angles are totally going to depend on the condition of the wheels and random position as to where they were when you measured them. Runout compensation is absolutely required for a proper alignment.

Сразу видно что учеб6ик геометрии вы скурили в туалете. Разница сходимости 1мм на 16 дюймах . Вы серьезно хотите поймать этот миллиметр на этом? 😂

Absolutely NOT! There is no way that you measured toe that way. I can tell you two things right off the bat. First, the sensors in your smartphone are simply not that accurate. I've worked with accelerometers, GPS, compass, and other smartphone sensors and they are extremely noisy. You will never get mm-level accuracy with a smart phone. Second, tell me how that thing is measuring toe using accelerometers, which only react to gravity, or the compass, which is not only not accurate, but is extremely susceptible to interference from......say the metal components of your car? I am VERY familiar with the compasses on smartphones and they are wildly sensitive to every little bit of interference. This is 100% pure snake oil. Straight from their website "Results are not guaranteed and may vary due to numerous factors." In other words, this technology is pure garbage
