Front End Alignment Made Easy

Welcome to the fab forums channel Today I am going to show you an easy way to fabricate your own front end alignment tool its easy you ready? here you go... string and two jack stands really... thats how easy it is let me show you what your going to do is take one jack stand and place it right here in front of the front tire take the other jack stand and place it... on the other side of the car in front of the front tire and then take the string you want the string to be long enough to go around the entire car jack stand to jack stand on the end of your string you just want to have a little loop right there on the end of it basically just hook it on the jack stand and then your going to run this all the way back to the rear tires around both rear tires back around to the other jack stand alright as you can see I have the string going from one jack stand all the way around the car touching the rear tires and back over to the other jack stand what you want to be sure of is that the string is passing through the center of the wheels on the front and the back and that its pulled nice and tight and you want it to touch the front and rear section of the rear tires hopefully you can see this so the string comes right around the rear tire touches the side wall then you want to move the string then move the jack stand at the front of the car so the string is just barely touching the side wall on the front side of the rear tire its barely touching once you have that you can now see how that string passes by the front tire so once you get both side adjusted make sure your steering wheel is straight the pull your measurements we know this line is straight off the rear tires now you can just pull measurements from your tire to your string 2 inches on the front 1 inch and 3/4 on the back then just go under and make your adjustments on your tie rod end pull measurements again keep doing that until you get the same measurement front and back do that on both side, make sure you steering wheel is still straight then you are aligned ! the thing that is nice about this is for you drag racers that want to align your front end at a certain front end travel hight you can actually jack the car up, say two inches to simulate the car actually going down the track there you have it, alignment made easy very easy tool to use it will get you on the road after suspension changes until you can get to an alignment shop most of the time when I go its right on the number it works awesome BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on up coming videos also check us out at www.thefabforums.com on the forum you can check out some builds or post your own post some comments on this video, thumbs up, or even share it
