Wheel alignment - string method



  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
r****d alert!

Please excuse my piss poor paint skills lol and wording of stuff.

If i was to set the string at 270mm off the front side and rear side of the rear wheels. All i need to do then is set the fronts to equal mm of distance to then run 0 degree toe??

So say 230mm frontside and backside of the front rim? And is perfectly ok for road use?



measurements are just an example.

Cow me near on an hour to set it up with 4 axle stands so i hope so......... i just done a full suspension refresh bar tie rods and ends (fairly new) Steering wheel is **** on centre now with no pulling either way and handles sublime:cool:



Yes, once the strings are parallel to the car (which you ensure by making sure the centre of the wheels is the same both sides on the front and same both sides on the rear) it means that if the front and rear of one wheel is the same distance, then you have ZERO toe.
