running a 760 gle 1989,here in the uk.
Ive just replaced the steering racks track arms,due to it failing the annual mot test,didnt think they were that bad!
Having to do this forced me to look again at setting the toe, in and doing this job myself, rather than just take it to a garage.
They all have the equipment for tracking,obviously costly items,but in my experience a baboon could do a better job.
Is it reasonable to expect a car to wear the front tyres evenly,instead of scuffing the edges off.I havent had a car yet (all joints in etc in A1 condition) that doesnt.
Have any brick boarders gone about doing their own wheel alignment,with home made testing rigs and achieved that perfect!¬ front tyre wear.
Any photos diagrams etc of such rigs,and experiences would be much appreciated.
