I did my alignment on my 1976 Mini Clubman my self with old school methods with tiles as a nivelling tool, ruler and my Galaxy S7 edge as a degree indicator. Results are as good or better than an alignement shop ! Tire wear and behavior of the car is perfect.

I had them check my alignment at SEMA. Matched exactly what I thought it should be based on my own alignment. cool idea

Thanks for sharing this tool, didn't know it existed until your video. Purchased it on their black Friday sale, and tested on one car already, awesome tool. Thanks!

Great to see a Rootes Group Car on your channel Steve. The Sunbeam Tiger is a treat for the eyes 😊

Im definitely buying this. I usually use string to set Toe cuz i was so tired of alignment shops never getting it right with my OCD

[stephenricketts]

An Interesting piece of kit and very well explained Steve. Thank you for the post. 👍👍

The thing’s cool and all, yet without a comparison to an actual laser alignment machine, these are just numbers. Would like to see a side by side.

Just got mine in the mail and plan on trying it out tomorrow on my 72 Celica. Thanks for the demo!

The answer is in the data. Vs. strings and levels this is a easy go to with reliable confidence. When Hunter debuted the Quick Check everyone thought that was Hokus Pokus Black Magic mystery not to be trusted. Remember this Quick Check is done in the lane... no rack involved.

Can't wait for the open-source version software and where you can 3D print your own phone holder.

Did you check it with a regular toe in bar? Thanks in advance

Extremely interesting Steve, thank you very much for posting. I was getting ready to get a Longacre alignment tool, but will look closely at this. Question: apparently this system doesn't require turntables for setting the caster, to turn the wheels a certain number of degrees?

[johnlam]

Looks like an interesting tool for DIY work. Something I noticed is you didn't utilize a slip plate over your front wheels. Turning the wheels back and forth while stationary will cause the suspension bushings to bind a small amount and not give you dead accurate angles. A super easy DIY slip plate set up is to have a stack of waxy paper sheets (like junk mail) under your tires.

I was a Jaguar dealership mechanic and ever since I left for a new career, I've badly missed having access to an alignment rack. I hate paying other people to do my alignments! I think I'm going to order one of these and give the software a try. Thanks!

I just stumbled onto your channel here.. That car is sharp!! That's coming from an Ford Mustang guy...
The tool does look slick.. Though like a few have commented already, we'd need to see a car, getting a full thrust alignment at a known reputable alignment shop, preferably one who's cooperating with this endeavor as well. Then with those numbers in hand for comparison, do the Pepsi challenge with this product... I'll be reasonable, and concede it would be somewhat, just due to where we as the enthusiasts would be doing our testing in our garages and driveways. The outcomes will be dictated by amount of effort expended by each user to get the car level both side to side as well front to back. Lastly, if not an actual mini turntable for each front tire, some bullshit facimile, like two pieces of cardboard or the like.. The gauntlet has been thrown down here.. I am one car guy, with three old Fords, and many friends with more cars than me, and love to tinker.. So gauntlet has been thrown down here... I subscribed, so I'll be

[jeffgriffith]

I just ordered this after watching your video!

[Kingsoupturbo]

Wow!! so useful! the tape measure and pins method I use for Toe must go away, now if only I had an application for remembering which way to rotate tie rods on which side to do what, yessss.

[GyralineGarage]

Absolutely stellar car and a great overview of the system Steve! Do you have any recommendations for us to make the software better for you?

[-zerocool-]

Looks good, they should sell the tyre plates with this kit, also a wider phone mount for bigger rims

[carlosmartoral]

After using this tool it would be nice to see the actual adjustments being done.
