Wheel Alignment Checks

Wanted to check the tracking on the car. Used some string and the axle stands to check. Positioned the 4 axle stands at each corner of the car and then pulled the string taught between the stands. 

Measured the distance between each side of the rim and the string. Adjusted the axle stands until the distance was equal on the rear wheels. Next measured the distance to the string at each edge of the rim on the front wheels. The toe setting on my car is around 1mm toe in. 

Obviously this is a quick way of checking but isn't really accurate but will identify large discrepancies. To check more accurately I will get a gunson trackrite from eBay.
