So much crap on YouTube about alignment this is by far the best easiest explanation that makes sense

[grandsport]

Thanks, I do this myself. But I enjoyed watching someone else doing while I sat on my can.

[zachary]

Just ordered my kit. Finally I can take my car out the garage when it arrives.

[johnmilner]

Now I know why I always go to an alignment shop. LOL. Excellent job explaining the procedure.

Great job Monty! Looking forward to seeing the others. It's awesome to see one of the first Gen QuickTrick's. We were still machining in our garage back then! Thanks for providing a great channel for DIYers! We're proud to call you #QuickTrickFamily.

[chriscraft]

toe and camber can be done without that.. but not the caster.. thanks for the link to the kit you used.. THANK YOU SO MUCH... i will use your code when i buy mine

[msquicktrick]

Fantastic demo 👌 for those who need a little extra security on the frame when checking toe, you can use the QuickTrick bungees that are included with every kit. 😀 thanks for the excellent demo Monty

Awesome Timing, I’m ready for a Four Wheel Home String Alignment on the 23 T Hotrod With A Straight Axle !!!

[gregoryking]

EDIT: I just watched your string video. That answered my question. 👍

I'm an industrial mechanic but have been a car guy my whole life. I just never took a run at home alignment.
That said, when measuring toe the steering wheel is horizontal and locked of course but doesn't at least one wheel have to be adjusted (via tie rod of course) to be 100% parallel to the frame first? If not then I'm not underatanding how the steering wheel can be perfectly horizontal and the tires dead ahead. Am I overthinking or underthinking this? Seems at least one would have to be true to the steering wheel?
Great vid and explanation of steering dynamics. Seriously considering springing for the kit but...ouch. 😂

Great Demo job on this video! The best!

[larrybud]

7:00 I'm guessing here, but I imagine neutral caster was because it was pre-power steering, and having positive caster would make the wheels difficult to turn because you'd be fighting against the alignment force.

Nice video Mike - much more put together than the quick videos I did a while back. I was looking to get a pair of turn plates and came across your discount code; that came in handy today. I hope they work as well for me as they look to be working for you.

[Rick-O-Shay]

Way Cool Tool. (Although too pricey for my budget) Thanks for this Mike. Looking forward to the adjustments.

[pitdusk]

Just use a thread and a gauge level, you will save $1000

[mrDADtheSecond]

You said negative camber for older vehicles, and positive cambee for modern vehicles?
I seen somewhere, where thats opposite 🤷

[cartracer]

great video, which spindles and control arms do you use. are they the g-plus?

[glenfelkey]

I have a 2005 ford focus with the tires are wearing on the inside of the tire. How do I fix this

[Mavrick-]

My question is why do we have to multiply the 6 degrees by 1.5 ?

[waltercobb]

Oil depends on how greasy I had scared or whatever but you might want to get those sheets of paper laminated I'll stick it in the Bangor Plastics

[jsatre]

As always another great video Mike thanks for sharing. I was wondering how your GTO is running after that lifter failure a few yrs ago? Did you ever come up with a specific cause for the failure?
