Remember folks green doesn’t always mean good look at your cross numbers, a car can still have a nasty pull with all green numbers, and also depending on the stiffness of the suspension the numbers can change quite a bit when the driver sits in the car
@@jackoking4657 yup always go for a test drive to you never know if a head shifted or if the machine just didn’t compensate correctly, or maybe the car is pulling for a different reason than the alignment
That’s because toe cannot cause a pull or drift. Only off center steering wheel. Camber and then caster are what causes pulls or drifts. Also tire pressure. You’re right tho to look at cross numbers. Green does not mean good. You can have a car with over 1 degree difference in camber and it’ll be all green depending on manufacture specs. Which obviously will have a decent pull. Also more common on custom alignments is it’ll be in the red. But if cross numbers match or are within .5 a degree it’ll be straight.
@@zachhall3581 yup toe cannot cause a pull and also the rear cannot cause a pull front camber and caster cause a pull, front toe can cause wandering and darting whitch can be mistaken as a pull
@@zachhall3581 also it depends where that .5 is you usually want .5 more caster on the passenger side to account for road crown, a half a degree more on the driver side plus the road crown will cause the car to go right, I believe rear toe can cause a pull on vehicles with more than 2 axels tho
One time, we had a VERY fat man, who drove a VERY tiny car, he came in for an alignment. We aligned his car, and sent him on his way. He returned to the shop saying that his car pulls to the left. We determined that his weight was the issue. We had to align the car with him inside, up on the lift. It did not pull after that alignment 🤣🤣
Been doing the string method now for years , bang on , even tyre wear . Got sick and tired of entrusting my car to an alignment shop only to find the wheel off centre or pulling to the side etc etc , do as much on your own car as you can.
@@gallogodinez9859 might take an hour or two if it's way out of alignment, and you've never done it before, but I can do it pretty quick and easy at this point. I have a short on my channel where I do it on a golf cart, process is identical for a car or truck.
First time in 40 years I took my car in for an alignment because I was tired of doing them myself. Got it back and it pulled heavy to the left and the steering wheel was way off center. When I got home I had to realign it myself. Lesson learned once again.
My current car never drove straight since I bought it. No matter how many times I had an alignment. One day I discovered a bad tie rod and some other worn suspension parts. Replaced those and got an alignment. Drove straight with the wheel cocked to the left. Found a vid on here describing my exact issue. Did the entire thing myself. Now I’m happy
@@pepehcam nope. It danced with worn parts and both wheels out of alignment. After reworking the suspension and getting an alignment it drove straight if the steering wheel to the left. It won’t if it’s straight. After this video it worked until I got new tires

You didn't know? Lol. Ever done a cradle shift? You loosen the cradle ever so slightly then stick a bar through it into chassis. Can't tighten the bolts while holding the bar. Tie rods often go out of alignment when you tighten them. You also usually end up doing camber toe and repeat for people who want actual high precision. Rear alignment before front etc
My first alignment ever i did it on my own truck and i got +1 and +1. but i didnt realise that meant they were facing the same way so there's a slight pull. But thats the point in learning ya'll. Dont get discouraged
He’s waiting 5 seconds or so after each small rotation, he allows the tension to catch up with the bolt so there is no bind in the suspension when he tightens the lock nut, holding the entire assembly in place.
Now you have to tighten down the nut, which it looks youll need a few couple of turns while holding the inner tie rod in place. Not so easy getting it exactly on 0.00
@@jackievang3366by measuring distance of front side of front tires and then measuring distance of the back of the front tires (making sure you measure off of the same tread line) and that’ll tell you if you have too much toe in or toe out.
Be sure to ratchet down or secure your steering wheel dead nuts straight before you do this method or you could have a crab walk. Otherwise this works great, one tip is to place a 2x4 or something straight running parallel with both front tires to get a good solid reading from
My left wheel looks like it is further outward that my right wheel. I know if i pop out the ball joint outer tie rod i can turn it to get the wheel straight. Does this do the same thing with less work? I think I might have been doing it the hard way?
I see everyone mentioning the right things but how about trying to even out the camber also with all the helpful tips .. make sure your tires are inflated correctly and along with suspension components make sure those wheels spin freely . No alignment is going to help you if you got a passenger front tire that’s low by 10lbs of air and a set of sticky brake pads because you have a bad caliper or seized slid pins
I use 2 1x1 boards about 6 feet long and tie them to the outside of the wheels and then measure the dustance from the front end to end and the back end to end. Numbers gotta come out equal. Then adjust on the steering shaft to straighten out the wheel. I bought an expensive laser level that was perfect for alignments but after using it for awhile i realized its exactly the same as the old trusty 2 pieces of wood and measuring tape.
Had an alignment done at a shop. Drove my car out steering wheel is off centered. Came back within seconds dude asked me if I hit a pot hole. I wanted to punch him in the throat.
@johndanver2012 a single pothole definitely can change wheel alignment. Or a single curb. Or a single recessed grate. Have paid for 2 different alignments due to me being tired at 5 am and not noticing recessed grates in parking lots while driving my beater 😂
Adjust to spec and then swing the wrench back and forth to relieve it and finally make preferred setting. It'll likely stay on target adjustment after that.
Make sure to properly load the car, be sure ur tires are evenly worn, make best that ur suspension parts are In good condition, realign after 150 miles of regular/moderate driving Hope the subframe is aligned too
after 150 miles? jeez i think thats not really necessary unless your problem with aligment is just that bad, in which case you should look into fixing something more serious in your suspension
@@opelservicekyivlots of shops provide free alignments with the purchase of a 4 tire package but yea idk how I said 150miles lol that’s just 1 week of driving lol so more like every 6 months
The second you straighten out the ball joint your toe adjustment will change. Make sure the ball joint is straight before securing the jam nut on the tie rod.
@@metzmatu8409 what I mean is if while tightening down the jam nut on the tie rod end and you twist the joint while securing the nut, you have slightly changed the alignment, because you have turned the inner tie rod.
Extremely dangerous alignment. A proper alignment requires the car to sit on its own wheels a the ride height AND LOADED with the typical mass it's driven with (for example, the driver himself/herself or an equivalent mass on the driver's seat). Cars typically driven by one person exhibit a slightly greater roll towards the direction of the driver's seat, which in turn affects the suspension geometry.
No matter how good your slip plates and steering wheel lock, moving toe always jacks the linkage around.l usually have to run a caster swing 2 or 3X to center steering wheel, each time creeping up on correct toe center.
No need for a steering lock if you have a hunter machine use the wintoe program it will be straight every time no steering lock needed, I believe all machines have a similar program just not sure what there called or how to use them on other machines
@@CCaslopea you set the steering whee perfectly straight and enter win toe and machine knows how much you need to move both wheels even if the steering wheel moves it will still have you move them the same amount
I have had two mini vans, two pickups and six front wheel drive vehicles aligned in the last fifteen years and only once did I not have to return the vehicle for a driving issue? I believe it has something to do with the force being applied to the drive wheels since it’s always the inside of the front tires that get extremely worn!

Yeah unfortunately with cars that have been in a crash have sustained an inconspicuous damage that affects the alignment and with damage present, wheels would need to be adjusted relative to the damage rather than in accordance to manufacturer's specs.
@@anttikaipainen6072 I see what you’re talking about. There’s more going on here than what’s shown in the video. Subframe adjustment is possible on certain vehicles but it’s usually used to equalize camber. I wouldn’t think something is bent because the caster appears pretty even side to side. I’d like to see the sai and included angles. I used to do a lot of alignments for a collision center. Got pretty good at spotting bent parts. Another possibility that he entered the wrong specs. In the end if the vehicle doesn’t pull the caster being out of spec shouldn’t be an issue.
When you tighten the other side slowly count how much it normally goes up or down and add that to the opposite way so when you tighten it will even out
Not good! The caster is off the charts that should have been corrected before setting camber and toe, the vehicle will pull to the less positive caster side with an off center steering wheel.
And if you do it right, you can compensate for a bent frame rail. That you won't find, until you're one year into payments. And even then, it'll be the technician at the dealership, who finds it. And at the dealership they only recommend.... Purchasing a new vehicle. To solve your bed frame rail problem. That nobody disclosed to you. Because they were too anxious to sell you car payments. And not an actual car.
If it out ?? Then renew the lower track arm bushes. . check track rod ends inner and outer . Their is a reason its out. Normally in.my.daughters case it driving up a unmade road to get to nudist beach. .
Went to the same shop 3 times, to get an alignment. Last time it was for a changed rear axle. I had all bolts loose and they told me they couldn't get the rear ones off and didn't even touch the front camber "on bmw it's imbossible to change the front camber" yea sure. Now i have to ride with -2° on the front right and rear right. Still had to pay 90 bucks for an unfinished job
@@Volksoner619 it’s possible punch out the camber adjustment pin on the front strut mount and for the rear it’s an eccentric bolt. It’s not impossible, you just gotta know how
@@kuma7526 If the front camber is out on a BMW you’re likely to have worn/bent parts and/or sagging springs. I’d look into that before anything else. What did you use to read the camber? Did you make sure the vehicle was fully laden when taking the readings? Just asking because I’ve seen DIY’rs do some super hack shit. I love when a customer tells me they did it themselves but they just want me to “check their work” and the shits all fucked up. Now you’re getting charged for inspection, retorque and alignment.
Show a wrangler, the new guys are always confused first time 😂 I always hated the steering wheel lock, if it was off a smidge everything else is off, old jeeps if they were off you could adjust steering without having to rack it again. The good old days
my car makes a droning noise when the wheel is turned to the right, but is completely silent when it’s turned to the left. it has new wheel bearings. what can i do? could it be because of a loose tie rod end?

I gotten maybe 10 alignments in my lifetime and only 2 were spot on. My last one a few months ago with new suspension and it pulls to the right.
Also helps to remember, loosen the jam-nut but don’t back it off too much, because it can throw off your progress when tightening it back up.
Tightening those jam nuts often throws the tracking out if you don't hold the inner rod with a iron grip
Adjust to spec and then swing the wrench back and forth to relieve it and finally make preferred setting. It'll likely stay on target adjustment after that.

And at the dealership they only recommend.... Purchasing a new vehicle. To solve your bed frame rail problem. That nobody disclosed to you. Because they were too anxious to sell you car payments. And not an actual car.
Io è da 40 anni che faccio la convergenza con lo spago tenendo conto della differenza della larghezza assi post. E ant. e non ho avuto mai problemi.
Steer Ahead Angle sits at -0⁰02', and camber is at 0⁰12'
I see a "vehicle pulling right" scenario
The Technician knows Suspension Geometry.
yup tie rod adjust
0.05 is good to put on both front, but on the rear it should be all zeros
Hope you equalized that caster or its gonna pull on you. Also why is your camber not reading?
Always wanted to see how this was done
Thanks for rating this video
Whats precise here is the the machine. Anyone with a wrench could do this.
If it out ?? Then renew the lower track arm bushes. . check track rod ends inner and outer . Their is a reason its out. Normally in.my.daughters case it driving up a unmade road to get to nudist beach. .
Where can I get this done? I just lifted my jeep
Keep 1 degree for true alignment for correct toe.
Dude its just like tuning on Forza bro😊😮
I do this shit with a string, jack stands, and my eyeballs and Im on point everytime
Dont forget the eyeballs...noted
Great job please and also requesting you to kindly forward the mini truck pickup frant wheel alignment video. 🙏
Thank you, Of course, when it arrives, I will make a video
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video. 👍
Now show tightening it down 😂😂😂
I think he should tight the upper nut all th way and only adjust the lower nut..
Went to the same shop 3 times, to get an alignment. Last time it was for a changed rear axle. I had all bolts loose and they told me they couldn't get the rear ones off and didn't even touch the front camber "on bmw it's imbossible to change the front camber" yea sure. Now i have to ride with -2° on the front right and rear right. Still had to pay 90 bucks for an unfinished job
BMWs don’t have camber adjustment and -2 is within spec on most that I remember.
@@Volksoner619 it’s possible punch out the camber adjustment pin on the front strut mount and for the rear it’s an eccentric bolt. It’s not impossible, you just gotta know how
@@kuma7526 sounds like you’re the expert. Why don’t you just align it yourself instead of throwing away your money at that shop?
@@Volksoner619 didn’t know it before, but I know it now. And I did it myself
@@kuma7526 If the front camber is out on a BMW you’re likely to have worn/bent parts and/or sagging springs. I’d look into that before anything else. What did you use to read the camber? Did you make sure the vehicle was fully laden when taking the readings?
Just asking because I’ve seen DIY’rs do some super hack shit.
I love when a customer tells me they did it themselves but they just want me to “check their work” and the shits all fucked up. Now you’re getting charged for inspection, retorque and alignment.
I love this job
what do you do when that thing in the middle is stuck to one of the jam nuts and it wont budge even with penetrating oil? do they need to replace it?
We need to warm it up
I'm looking to aftermarket parts for a better alignment on my car. I don't like the no camber adjustment for the rear.
You can buy camber shims for some vehicles with non-adjustable rear suspension.
Super präzise.Er weiß genau was er macht.. Grüße vom Motor guru..😅
👍👍👍
@@opelservicekyiv ich liebe präzise Menschen die Ihren Beruf zur Leidenschaft gemacht haben 👍🏻✌🏻🤩
Show a wrangler, the new guys are always confused first time 😂 I always hated the steering wheel lock, if it was off a smidge everything else is off, old jeeps if they were off you could adjust steering without having to rack it again. The good old days
Hay problemas q no solo es de alinear, el carro cuando esta parado no es lo mismo cuando esta en movimiento
Correct 'Toe' helps treadlife but can't fix damaged tires
Yes it is
検査器具無しでやって、感で何回回したかでやったが検査ライン通すと案の定、再検査😂。左右で逆回転になるから頭こんがらがる😅
Reason why i bought rolls rou

my car makes a droning noise when the wheel is turned to the right, but is completely silent when it’s turned to the left. it has new wheel bearings. what can i do? could it be because of a loose tie rod end?
everything needs to be checked and looked at
Shop did this for printed out the sheet and all and my car pulls very hard to the right and steering rest 1/4 turn to the left when centered
Thanks alot
You're welcome
You'd be surprised most shops in my area don't know how to do this
