Grassroots Motorsports LIVE! on Wednesday February 28: How to Make a

We wanted to see how inexpensively we could build a setup rig to accurately complete four-wheel alignments. Components included wood, string and even kitchen cutting boards. We’ll share our successes and failures tonight on Grassroots Motorsports LIVE! presented by CRC industries.

Join us with questions and comments live tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on our Facebook and YouTube hubs. We’d love to see pictures of your homebuilt rigs, too.

I can fart like a beagle, and fight like a duck.

You guys are freaking me out because it's always been at 9pm eastern. Has my entire life to this point been some sort of an elaborate ruse?

Oh perfect, I've been planning to put together a DIY alignment setup in the next few weeks and I never seem to catch these at the right time. This worked out perfectly!

In reply to JG Pasterjak :

I thought for a while you were alternating between 4pm or so and 9pm? I could be remembering that wrong though...

So how did you know your steering was at "zero" before you started measuring for toe?

We bailed off the early shows over a year ago. Just couldn't get a consistent audience.

For zeroing the wheel, I just eyeball it. Nice thing about Corvettes is with the four spoke wheel you have these nice index marks to line up with the dash.
