Just topping up the power steering here, and haven’t tested it much save for parking it elsewhere so i could get my own streetcar in. Found a dead lower balljoint, replaced that, aligned it after, so it’s not pulling to a side at random.
Knew it needed an alignment, but testdrove it first anyway. just a tad off it’s mark...

Cheap and simple toe alignment device, pretty simple in how it works and quite quick to do a measurement with too. Won’t beat out a proper setup surely, but it’s nice to do it quickly/simply

Cool but here’s what I have. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/81680/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710757887&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=39714413703&CATCI=aud-300525381019:pla-293995373017&CATARGETID=230006180039220954&cadevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuuH1soKD2gIVkEoNCh2jTgQBEAQYAiABEgJnfPD_BwE . Remember, you need to repeat the process after each adjustment. This works great for quick and dirty....

We typically do that for the racecars, 2 lenghts of square tubing, clamp to the wheel/disc, measure front/back, set to roughly 0 toe. Nice to see somebody has a buyable solution like it out there tho!

Scandinavian thing called Folkrace. Cage any normal car and run it on a mostly dirt track. think cheap rallycross, but way slower and less nice.

With enough lube the beams can slip around corners and into the darker crevices you normally don’t see!
