Amazing what fishing line can do for aligning a car. Anyone every try it? Mine was off and bugging me. Took me two sessions to dial it in just right but now its spot on.

For those that never did it. Its simple. Block the car up on all four but on the suspension. You can do it on the ground though, just a little harder. Anyway, the basic idea is to wrap all four wheels with a string then get at least one front tire touching the line evenly. For example, if the driver front tire is turned to go left the string would only be touching the outer front of the tire and not make contact with the outer back. Dialing it in can be a pain if you do not find a way to lock down the steering wheel. If you do, then the method will take only a few minutes. The only thing that may be harder to adjust will be the wheel angle adjusted by the LCA. Thats a little more work.

Only odd thing was the old tie rod set was super easy to adjust. Once the lock clamps were open it turned very smooth and easy. The new one (newer, about a year old) was a complete pain. Go figure.
