Nice writeup. I think I will go home today and double check my stuff using that method.

An alignment is only $45 bucks, and all I have to do other than that is drop the car off. Why go to all the trouble to do-it yourself?

That was a pretty good post. It's 125 bucks on avg for an alignment + tax. So to me DIY is worth while. Now if only there was a way of DIY corner weighting. I have contemplated on making a setup similar to this...

Took me a few seconds to figure out what the problem was. You could get 2 scales and put a piece of wood across and rest the wheel on that, then just get the average weight over the 2 scales, mind you that's even cutting it a bit close. I don't really have that problem, I can just put the scale directly under the wheel.
