DIY budget 4-wheel alignment project. Update, done for under 20. Full write up!

how are adjustments made when using this system? do you keep jacking - adjusting -lowering and rechecking and then repeat or am I missing a trick.

 

Ensure the steering arms are easy to slacken beforehand. Once the strings are on the car and centred, adjustments can just be made on a car that isn't very low, by being careful not to disturb the strings whilst reaching underneath with the spanners.

Alternatively remove the strings and do it, or if necessary jack the car up, and re-fit/measure the strings.

Move the car backwards and forwards between adjustments to allow the car to settle.

 

Further variations on the theme:







- IIRC steve r saw similar at the DTM whilst we were out at the 'Ring.

 

More variations on the design theme if suitably inspired:

 

Good to see Halfords axel stands and straight bar in use here.

Chatted to the engineer who said they are waiting for a metal body mounted kit but demand is very high for these as the cars are so new.
