Default Re: Toe-in tool

I used painters tape around the tire, ascribed a line on that. Then used a plumb bob to make a mark on painters tape on the floor in front and behind the tire. Then just measure from one side to the other to get your front measurement and rear measurement.
Do that once, then push the car forward and do it again. Took about 20 minutes.

This picture shows it on jack stands. But I ended up dropping the car on the ground to get the final measurements. It actually added 1/4" toe out when you drop it, so it is a must and is why everyone always tell you to do it on the ground and not on jack stands.
