Re: how to question??? (slor209)
you take it to sears lol
honestly to get the best alignment you cant really do it on your own yo need a computer with lasers or something that tells you when the wheel is perfectly flat on the groun
I think not sure though

In order to do it yourself you need a camber gauge, tape measure and a long piece of metal with hooks on end or a toe gauge...

if you need tools like that at the track you have bigger problems than alignment. especially if you are driving down a straight road, you can just hold the wheel at the right position to make your car go straight.

You're ignorant. Tools like that are useful at the track where you may want to adjust your camber and suspension preload.
Way to make yourself look like a fool, though.

um yea, i have to adjust my camber and preload at the track ALL the time. although i never have. that includes when i road race at homestead and when i drag race at bmp. don't talk down to me to make yourself feel better, or look cool. noone needs your sarcasm. i have done my own alignment before and have chosen to use a shop now, i have them set it to a certain mark for when i know im going to race and i get it changed when im done. sorry i don't want to pretty much eye ball it with some wire and a gauge. if you cant afford an alignment you shouldn't be racing. and if you knock your alignment out at the track you probably hit something and should quit anyway. thanks for you very unproductive statement kid.

You don't get it. It's not about KNOCKING your alignment out. It's about blowing axles because you're putting down too much power and replacing it between runs. It's about changing camber and thus changing the geometry of your suspension. It's about things you don't do and don't know how to do.
People don't track-align their car because they hit a curb, they do it because they had to change something.
