I replaced the wishbones and rod ends (three per wishbone and two per toe links front/rear) on all four corners of my formula car this winter. Lots of time with string, ruler, camber gauge, etc. Was able to get ballpark measurements from the old parts but did not have precision trammel bars . . . just finishing nails in a board . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks.

Scott, here is the proof. This shows the rear track being wider than front, but it works either way (or square track etc):

FYI, that shop didn't torque the camber bolts properly on the 2nd go round :( as I discovered doing my oil change this weekend. Nuts were able to rotate approximately 45-60* to get my torque wrench to click to 80 ftlb.

Please do not go there. This is ridiculous.

Since I'm back in NC, a stone's throw from my home town of New Bern, I've gotten my last few alignments from Donny at Joe Alcoke Chevrolet. I assume this isn't as helpful to the Raleigh/Durham crowd, but...
I've known Donny since high school, and it turns out he can do a hell of an alignment.

Anyone remember that red 240SX I used to have? When I was stationed in New Mexico, and came back to NC for annual visits, Donny got the front camber on that car to -2.1* with a single camber bolt on each side.
