Thoroughly recommend it Monkfish. !Hmmmm, got me thinking about doing mine now!
Most good tyre places now (not the Kwikfit SH!tters etc) have the right gear and can do it for you. Long gone are the days of horrendous prices. It should cost no more than 30 minutes time - maybe less. Here it would be twenty Euro.
The math is easy when you look at it - the front wheels go on a rotating disk. the rears and fronts are connected to laser and gyro clip on units. - they are all MEMS units meaning the position relative to a known point (the ramp usually) is easy to measure for any or all - even tiny - angular change in all directions is possible. camber, castor (by turning the front lock to lock) , toe in / out - front and rear etc etc.
The main box has a full database of manufacturers specs.
See this image Something similar to this - in fact identical ! - - but the colours where different lol -
Clips on all four wheels and connect by wireless to the main box... freeking bl00dy amazing.
They even centre the steering wheel - the machine even guides them to do that - the the degree level ! ! - then they lock the steering wheel in position with clamps from the floor to the wheel. - All adjustments now are absolutely correct with respect to the steering wheel alignment. No offset wheel etc..
Man I am well impressed ! - and really cheap. ! - don't be conned by so called specialists - just find a local quality tyre place as all quality tracking and alignment is now done this way.
