Toe Adjustment question.

you can see it here right in front of the tire, same on the driver side with the exception of the windshield washer container. you dont have those? they are held on by clips i think. this task just became harder with all these fine details.

mine ripped off on interstate 77 in nc going to school one day.

[5spd92]

i could see the piece that goes all the way across the bottom of the engine, but that on mine is long gone, these are clipped in around the wheel well. im going to see if i can take them off tomorrow.

['93CB7Ex]

those plastic things dont get in the way. the tie rods are on the bottom and have easy access from underneath.

[5spd92]

but for a shop to do an alignment? the new ones are computer laser's ( if i remember right) and that plastic gets in the way.

well at my redneck school we have the rack that has heads on it. when i did mine, the only thing was breaking my rear tie rods loose. my toe was far out. never had an issue with the front.

Just my 2cents but i went to beeline school for laser alinment an yes u can backyard u alignment but it will still be off. Thing is is alignments are done with car down on swival plates. This is the only way to get true alignment. The bars they hook up should have extenders they can put on them so it will stick out past the fender well. Also most laser aligners have a calibration so that when they align it takes into factor the crown of the road. As far as crooked sterring wheel fix just set steering wheel straight an get somthing to wedge between the seat and wheel so it cant move an find a way to pull a string from rear tire to front tire and adjust as close as possible. But again car will likley pull and or still wear tires faster. hope this helps. Dont let shop say they gotta pull steering wheel to straighten it after alignment. Thats bs an they charge extra for that.

little plastic pieces wouldnt get in the way, in my schools auto shop we've got the state of the art hunter alignment, uses receivers that sits bout 2 feet away from the car

[5spd92]

hmm alright ill make sure to remember that tip about the steering wheel, but buddy that owns an alignment shop gave me an estimate of 35 bucks, 35 isnt so bad compared to the 100 someone posted earlier, so ill probably take it down tomorrow.

we call that a "hookup" around here.

[5spd92]

yea, i know. talked like that when i was younger...got me nowhere in life. cause people don't accept apps with slang words. naw mean?

[wed3k]

sounds like a personal problem...because i can afford 100 dollar alignments.

[5spd92]

more like still a student, and a part time job. got to even my expenses out.
