Addendum to Home-brew wheel alignment 101...



On thing I forgot to mention is the importance of making sure the lines used 
to measure camber are vertical ... I've got a small bubble level left over 
from my audio days that has a small groove machined into the side of it so 
that it can be properly oriented and clamped onto the line using a small 
spring clamp.  I don't know where you'd find one of these today -- mine 
doesn't have a brand name or model number on it -- but a good alternative 
would be to drop a plumb line from the steel tube and after you've 
established the vertical reference, clamp it to a heavy object so it doesn't 
move around and measure to the wheel from this.

I hope this oversight didn't screw up everybody who ran out to the garage to 
align their cars last night...  ;^)
