Review: If you cant get good results with this, then sell your tools! - As a mobile mechanic myself I once saw my grandfather use one of these in the workshop, given the advances in "laser" technology I dismissed it believing that you could never obtain any level of accuracy with a tool such as this. I had to carry out a repair on my own van late one evening and I had to drive it considerable distance for 3 days without time for alignment, so while digging for a tape measure to rough set it my mate suggested that I set it using his one of these. "Haha, that cr@p DIY thing? Well I guess it cant make it any worse!". I dialed the toe to zero following the guide, drove the vehicle and centered the wheel with equal adjustments, then rechecked/fine tuned the toe after. It was easy to obtain a constant zero scrub reading so i drove away thinking that it was roughly good for my journeys but I'd check it as soon as possible. A delay the next morning gave me a surprise opportunity to get it on the ramp and I was completely gob smacked, no spanner required, it was spot on for toe! ...So I brought my own and had a go on the wifes car with the same results when compared to the laser alignment kit. Ok, so its only going to set toe (which is often all that is adjustable on many cars), and although it cant have the perfect level of accuracy of the garage kit but wow its close enough to be within tolerance for every car or van I've tried it on. It now sits in the back of my mobile van and allows me to set the toe after a mobile suspension repair with ease. As many customers are too tight to add the cost of alignment to a repair I like to leave knowing that its at least good enough not to destroy thier front tyres in a few miles. A surprisingly good bit of kit but carry a brush to remove any gravel that might be in its way first and it will deliver consistant results. A lot better that watching the local minimum wage tyre monkey negate the expensive lasers accuracy by resting it on a balancing wieght or setting the tracking for the wrong vehicle model! Any kit is only as good as its operator.
Review: It works - These have been around for years and I have allways thought of them as a bit of a gimmick until a client showed me his and how it works. I read the reviews and purchased one. The plus points are I have numerous vehicles and two of them needed the tracking doing. My local tyre fitters charge £40 per vehicle (and I have to take the car back until they get it right) so after 2 x vehicles I have allready saved £35. Also found it very easy to use. Followed the instructions and also used a straight edge along the tyre to ensure that it ways all in line. Negative points are it reads in degrees and the toe in/out measurements from the manufactures are usually in mm. Not a big issue as long as you know if it should be toe in or toe out. The other negative was each time I drove over it before (and after adjustments) the readings were all ways slightly different, maybe my drive and I may need more practice with it aswell. Overall a very good product, saved me some money and the affected vehicles (one is a 3.5t transit horsebox) drive with the steering straight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this item track back wheels or just the drive wheels. Also once correctly tracked is the steering wheel centre horizontal when driving straight.**
A: Yes it will "track" back wheels, I used it on my Toyota Avensis which has adjustable tracking arms(it did take me a couple of minutes to work out the correct way to turn the adjusting nuts, although as thunderc45 has pointed out many cars will not. Remember the trakrite needs to be on a smooth flat surface and drive over it in a straight line. .When 'tracking' the front wheels, assuming the steering wheel is correctly centred but the tracking is out then you will need to adjust the tracking an equal amount on both sides to keep the steering wheel centred. If only one side is adjusted to correct the tracking then the steering wheel will not be correctly centred when the wheels track correctly.

**Q: How i set toe assuming that the steering wheel is not centered and left and right wheel are misaligned. Can each wheel be adjusted independently?**
A: Make sure that the steering wheel remains centralised ,adjust the track-rod end of the wheel that you have the gauge on,make sure that you centralise the gauge after each time you move the wheel over the gauge and and any track rod adjustments . When you have achieved the toe setting    that you require  probably 0 ,use the gauge on the other wheel and carry out same procedure ,then check first wheel again and adjust if necessary .

**Q: Hi,would this work on a wheel that is set with a slight negitive camber (0.5 degrees) that would be applying more pressure on the inside of the tyre?**
A: camber will not affect the plate from measuring side slip,  you are measuring the sideways drag of the tyre , if you set to parallel then there's no slipmany cars need to have weight added to get the suspension at its static ride height before checking toe.  this is often ignored and you set an error in , always check on  a reasonably flat floor .

**Q: How wide of tyre can this accomodate**
A: The tyres on my car are 205mm wide (shown by the last number on the tyre size on the tyre) It appeared to work fine when I checked the tracking. Having looked at the Trakrite, this might be close to the limit otherwise the pressure on the outer part of the track might stop it giving a reliable reading. When using the Trakrite make sure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. Should the tyres be considerably wider, it might be possible to use the Trakrite by placing a sheet of rigid material about 200mm wide and 5 to 10 mm thick to cover the moving bed of the Trakrite, make sure it does not rub on the ends. This should ensure that the tyre does not come into contact with the edge of the Trakrite as the car is driven over it. You'll still have to make sure the car is as level as possible when testing. Hope this is useful.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Work...just.
*by S***V on 31 March 2019*

Work just. You need really smooth surface, have to make sure is exactly in line with the car and have to give on car quite few meters run before every check. If need slightly adjustment on one of the tyres all right, in my case both sides was out of adjustment, spend 2 hours and still not quite right. Trouble is you can't straight tyres in line with steering wheel. And the whole thing is made of plastic, look like a toy. I feel like better spent this money for garage.
