Cool stuff Sieg... really like the homemade
adapters for your tools and the fact
you are the alignment shop..
Been learning how to do some of this front
end tuning myself... better than wondering
what the shop really did.. plus you can adjust
it even at the track if you want

I have no affiliation with SWAG, other than he's a cool vendor with good schtuff.

Love the build.
Thanks.

Scott,
I find it easier to pull a chalk line front to back down both sides just below the pinch welds (If you are going to be a while, use tape). Along the whole length of the car, making sure they are parallel with one another. Then two in the opposite direction somewhere near the wheel mounting surfaces. Making sure to X them out to be sure they are square.

Once you have made this perfectly square box, and the car is solidly mounted and level, pinch welds in perfect line with your tape. All you need is 4 plumb bobs, a tape measure, digital level, and a patient wife or buddy to hold the other side of the tape.

You can accurately measure wheelbase (or altered wheelbase in so many cases), track squareness, camber, caster, pretty much anything you would need to know.

How many times have you been told this so far Sieg?


"Something seems off with X measurement, can you recheck it?"





Thing is, he was right every time...something was wrong with MY measuring...

I know Scott knows what he is doing, I've just never been able to do any reliable measurements using centerline. Unless a car was set up for centerline measuring, like cup cars are, I find it extremely hard to get repeatable numbers. That might just be me.
