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...

What is this TrackAce you are using with the laser beam? Do tell.

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!

What do you race?

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!

Sounds like the dirt equivalent of us about 30 years ago.....
