Yeeaaaah so as a professional mechanic I'm going to strongly advise against doing your alignment at home like this. Pony up the 90 dollars to have a shop do it on a laser-guided rack that has access to manufacturer's suggested alignment specifications. I'm normally a huge proponent of DIY car repair, but this is just an irresponsibly bad idea that could result in altering your car's handling dynamics in unexpected and potentially dangerous ways.

I feel like those alignment plates lead to inaccurate readings, if they had 3 points of contact with the wheel it would better measure the angle of the wheel. Because with those you can sway side to side and the angle will seem like it's changed. A great video as always tho

I've done my own alignments for ages, but on my old cars, like 60s or 70s, even 80s, like golfs. Always worked a treat using just a straight edge and some string. On newer cars I've never tried, but I've only owned one and I never lowered it.

wheel alighnments are only like 80 dollars cash only at many shops around my neighborhood. everything you did is a lot more work. sometimes you're better off paying a professional
