I've been told you want to have roughly 1/8" of toe then for 37s or 40s up to a 1/4" of toe. You don't want it set at zero but I forget exactly why.i like to do 1/8" with my 37s. I also use toe plates like yours I think mine are bleepinjeep ones. I would suggest using 2 identical tape measures of decent quality I have a couple milwaukee tape measures I keep with my toe plates. A lot of cheap and different brand tape measures can be off a bit.

I've been doing my own alignments since my first XJ 20 years ago with string and tape measure, always Rd 1/8 toe in seems to work great. Been to the PNW and back several times. Always got good wear out of my 33s.

Nice easy explanation of this process. I actually just bought this kit from TMR and will be performing this alignment today! Thanks for a great video!

Awesome man i was waiting on this one. Looks like a really really handy tool

Shouldn't the weight of the vehicle be on the chassis to do the alignment? Because when you put the tires back on and put it on the ground, that little bit the suspension goes down changes the geometry. Right? Or when I do mine maybe I can put the jack stand right under the lower ball joint.

Great video. I'm considering a set of toe plates and this video sold me on them. My only criticism is not having the correct torque. Saying to put it on as tight as possible is an open ended problem. Somebody using a three foot breaker bar like on a 3/4 inch drive would likely snap the nut off. On the other hand someone with a 3/8 inch breaker bar and not of large stature will have it too loose. Always for your safety and your loved ones use a torque wrench with the correct torque for your hardware. I've been wrenching for over fifty years. Safety first!

I have been told in the past the you want to have between 1/8 to 3/16 toe in when doing your adjustments. What are your thoughts?

[cosmicsea.]

I have a similar pair of these from another brand, very much worth the money!

Great video. Best to have the front slightly less than the rear since as you drive the road force will spread the leading edge apart. If you check you manufacture spec, it probally recommends some tie in.

[bygonebob]

Questions: Where did you put those jack stands, directly under the ball joints? Did you check that there is no variance between the tapes?

[arkansasrob]

Great video, never seen that done, that's sweet to be able to do that in your own drive way.

[markblackburn]

What about locking your steering wheel straight? Do you have to do this with this tool?

[infnbynd]

Wait, so this is just for the drivers side. Still have to do the passenger side right?

[timnewton]

I'm guessing the tie rod torque should be around 75 lb ft. Over tighten bolts can be just as dangerous as loose bolts. Stretching the bolts/threads, which could lead to failure.

[misterprocopio]

The feathering is actually because you have a bad shock. The toe will prematurely wear the tire on the inter or outer side of the tires. Another thing did you center your steering wheel first?

[arkansasrob]

It's 60$ here at the shop in ARKANSAS. That's crazy over 100$

[here_to_watch]

Do you think the length of the tool should be the same as your tire height ?

[fredliu]

When you have an inch difference between the two tape measurements, you adjust the driver side or passenger side of the tie rod?

[stevedavis]

How does this align the front wheels to the rear wheels and make the steering wheel straight?

[genematuzek]

Okay I have a question for you how do you know that your will are not turned at an angle when you're adjusting this you can get the wheels at the same do you know they're not pointing a direction when doing it
