Yeah this is the way to do it. I never did an alignment before and watched videos of people doing all this crazy stuff with strings and lasers, but I learned to do layout in construction its like all you need is a few lines...
No comment mentioned it but you can get a pull either to the right or left on a vehicle by more factors than just wheel alignment. The most common and easiest to correct is TIRE PRESSURE . The next factor is Tire Size. If you have more wear on one tire it can lead to a pull to one side or the other just as the Air Pressure. With a close alignment as yours you might go ahead and check those two factors first. The next factor might involve worn bushings either in your strut or the bottom swing arm. If you can get a nice improvement on your alignment then by all means go for it. A follow-up video on tire wear might be valuable down the road.
Thanks for the input, but this is a video about how to do a wheel alignment. Not how to do a wheel alignment on a car with worn out tires for bad control arms or ball joints, all the work was done on the car tie rods, new tires and then the alignment was the last thing. But yes of course tire pressure and a worn out bushing will throw the alignment off and make it alignable.
That's perfect,1/8 toed out,on a front wheel is ok , because on acceleration it will toe in,1/6 is preferred,toe in will not cause a pull
Great Video, now i understand how it works...greetings from germany...Tom
Thanks for the feedback

F 150 2007 truck. Alignment off 4/16 inch. I cannot break loose lock nut after much trying. Any suggestion?
Yes watch the Tie rod video there's a link at the end of this video.
Good info
Appreciate it
