Alignment techniques
Bob,
A friend of mine is an engineer at Rockwell in Troy, where they
do big truck suspension pieces. They did a study two years ago to find
out what was the best alignment method in terms of accuracy and
repeatability. Know what? They found out that a sharp mechanic with
some string, levels, and tape measures and calipers could do a much
better job than the fancy laser systems! I have done all of my own
alignment since then with very good luck. Note, that this is how many of
the Indy teams do their alignments (basically)
