  • EGT tie rod ends

    Is there any way I'm going to be able to line up my tie-rod ends manually to make sure everything is in alignment when I put the aspire brakes on the silver car? I'm using EGT tie rod ends, and I'd rather not have to take it to the tire place to get it aligned if I can help it... or is this just one of those things you have to do?
    No festiva for me ATM...

    Well some people can get it really good by eye, but most of us dont have the shiny tools to do it professionally ourselves. So pretty much you have to bite the bullet on this one.

      There are ways to set your alignment at home, using a few simple tools. If not perfect, it will get you by.

        I would do the RIGHT thing and bite the bullet. Unless you know what you are doing AND have the necessary tools, you will eat your tires up. -Kyle

          its really hard to find a level 8 x 10 square of concrete, and once past that you have to find two good reference points on your front tires for vertical and horizontal for toe and camber, and past that everything has to be done between 1 and 3 degrees of play. i did my alignment myself exactly once, and i will not be doing it again unless i have access to an alignment jig.
          is not sposed ta do that...
