Default Adjusting

Good evening!


How do you adjust the track rod / tie rod on the front axle on -1/16"? I tried this with two parallel wool threads running from behind along the rear and front wheels forward. Totally unusable!

Then I made it with two parallel square bars with 60 inches length, which were fixed against the front tire flanks. If I roll the car 40 inches forward after setting it, I unfortunately get quite different values. Too imprecise.

Laser Adjuster are based on the rim edges, which is too inaccurate with the old hunchbacked things.

Who has successful tips?
