Post Track-ace wheel alignment guage
Just got the latest JJC race & rally catalogue and this item caught my eye, the Track-ace laser wheel alignment guage.

http://www.trackace.co.uk/

I would like to check the tracking & maybe try some adjustments on the Libra to see what effect it has on the handling. But i don't want to keep going to a garage & paying for each adjustment, so at under £60 from them, i thought at that price it seemed quite reasonable.
Has anyone tried it? If so is it any good?
Or how do others set up wheel alignment at home. I have seen other people do it with a laser & shining it against a garage wall & measuring it. But i don't have the room/wall to do that!
My only bother with that Track-ace one is it only does a combined toe-in/out, so not sure if its much use for the rears?
Any thoughts or comments.... :?:


Edit: just realised its £60 ex vat.... So £70 inc :x

I have made a camber gauge it is a bit of metal angline and a digital angle gauge on it and also made a tracking gauge with a long lenght of angline and two short pieces fixed on it to go on the ends of the wheel hubs only thing to remember is that the front and back are not the same width so the short pieces that touch the hub ends need to be mounted to take this into account.

Bought one . Big problem is that it cannot guarantee that tracking will be equal to each side of car and that the surface on which the car is parked must be flat. The whole thing is rather a fuss
