Hell, I been doin mine myself for years. All you need is a tape measure and a level. _________________ Shane Price

The level is an awesome idea, Shane. I've been using the tape measure for toe in forever, but never thought of the level for camber. Do you put it on the drum face, or the wheel? seems like drum face might be easier, but the car can't be loaded then... _________________ '69 Bug, 1776, dual kadrons, Web 111 cam

I put it on the wheel. But I have wondered if it would matter if it was loaded since the travel is pretty straight up and down. I actually have a long metal ruler that I made a slider and 2 pointers on for the toe. Makes it alittle easier _________________ Shane Price
