DIY wheel alignment, any good?

Post by warlord » Wed Oct 08, 2014 5:55 pm

I've been looking at these 2 products:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trackace-Lase ... 20e800cfab

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Gunson-Wh ... 5d3f644538

Are either of these any good? I like the idea of being able to do it myself.
This would be on Kitt and mums Grand Am.
Thanks

Stick to the first one.
The product in the second link too primitive to be accurate i.m.o.p.

I would recommend something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LASER-WHEEL-A ... 3a9b5e1f20

It's more expensive plus you'll need turning plates with it.
..and rear flags if you want a straight steering wheel.
Also on your K.I.T.T. you'll need something to measure camber degree, that comes first then toe.
The toe settings all depending on the degree of camber. There is an easy camber gauge, it's type of bubble level tool
you can attach to a tracking gauge what I've linked in.

Hope is helpful and not too confusing :)
