Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments

So, true to my word, I performed an alignment using fractions instead of degrees/minutes. Hey?!?! Hasn't someone said before that 1/16th per side with 1/8th total is the hot lick for a performance alignment? Huh, cool. I will say that its not as accurate as I'm used to. I normally have to tweak and tweak to get the average of spec but I had to specifically look at the center mark and align it to that because 1/16th took up the entire hot zone of the scale. I guess thats what happens when you use a laser alignment machine I'll continue to align them for a little while like this.Its easy to swap back and forth between degrees/minute and fractions by clicking on the steering wheel icon on the scale and selecting the menu for changing measurements. And yes this car was that bad initially. The steering wheel was offcenter pointing to 10 o'clock and the steering felt twitchy.
