i stood mine on the grab bar to se toe on mine & checked final settings on the ground. make sure to adjust the tie rods evenly.

Here are a few pics of my current project and as long as this thread is concerning alignment. I have a real good concept of where and how everything goes,.. but is there truly a way to establish the parallel alignment to the frame? My guess would be to establish a center line physically down the frame rails and measure off of that to the rim lip. If this is done should it be with rider on or will that only apply to camber?

I did a search and read through about a 11/2 years of threads on this and great info but no real statement on the centerline relationship.:confused:

i dont know if you can, the only way to know both of your tires are striaght would be to adjust until you have zero toe-in and ajust from there

The initial toe in "0" has to be established from where? Being there is an imaginary centerline running through the quad "0" toe would be the equal relationship to that line, correct?

I always measure from the rim. Measure from the front of each rim, and then to the back of each rim.
