- In this video I test the accuracy of the tmr customs diy alignment tool and compare it with an previous alignment.
I attribute my successes to god and give him the glory.

I accidentally said the toe spec was 10 degrees but it is actually 0.10 degrees.
i take it you then converted this to mm for the size of the tool (how far apart the slots are for the tape measure on each toe plate).
I didn’t use mm I used an inch measurement. Our tape measures are In inches here.
so did you convert 0.10 to inches? as it looked like you were going for parallel @@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic
You can keep the car/truck on a jack with most of the weight on the jack, but put jack stands on the control arms and lower it down slightly onto those to load the suspension to simulate where it would sit when the vehicle is on the ground.
Bro been following since the start of the Ram cab conversion and have valued all the knowledge. Stay well and thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
Pretty slick.
It should make replacing tie rod ends easier to get aligned. Even if it’s to just get it close to get to have it done somewhere.
how finicky do you think it is with regard to how well the steering is pointing straight ahead?
I’m not exactly sure. I would think if the wheel is not exactly straight the wheels would keep the same tow measurement, but I didn’t experiment with it much. You could run a string line from the rear to the front and measure off of it to verify the wheels are straight after the tow is set and then adjust the link to the pitman arm. It’s a bit backwards but it’s probably the way I would do it. I got my steering wheel pretty straight like that before I went to the alignment shop. With this t style steering linkage the tow is separate from the steering wheel being straight so you can tweak the adjuster to get the wheel where you want it later if it’s off.
10 degree toe??? You would never get out of the driveway. How about 0.10 degrees.
Oops. I didn’t notice the .
Metric system is quicker and easier when taking more precise measurements.
