Question

Can you buy wheel alighnment kits?

Answer 1

not as i know of.if they have them, i never saw them.

Answer 2

There are camber and caster kits out there. These are used to provide adjustments on cars that did not come with the ability to have one or more of these changed.

It is still recommended that a professional install them and use them to provide the exact wheel alignment a driver wants.

Some places like Speed Way Motors sells gages to use to set up a front end. But you need to keep in mind that most cars need to have a thrust alignment made also and a home garage set up will never be as accurate as the computer with laser units that modern shops are using now.

Answer 3

I am not sure, I have never heard of an alighnment kit. Alignment kits are available for most cars.

Answer 4

Leave that to the pros.

Answer 5

wheel alighnment is only as good as the equipment and the person using it and with that being said most cars have only a camber adjustment available and that can be checked on level ground with an 18 in carpenters level and using a calculator compute the inverse tangent and you will get a degree measurement Hold the level upright and with the bubble centered about a foot away from the tire and measure from the level to the top of the wheel and to the bottom of the wheel That measurement should be small in difference and usually smaller at the top of the wheel meaning positive camber. The other measurement is how far from the top of the wheel to the bottom. The two measurements frequently are around .125 and 18 inches divide .125 by 18 and then take the inverse tangent and the result is around .500 degrees positive camber then check what manufacturers spec is and adjust accordingly. The other wheel alighnment adjustment is the toe in and that can be measured with any solid object that can reach across to both front tires.Measure in the front then in the rear of the tires and the measurement should be around .125 less in the front.Then the steering wheel alighment is set by having the wheel straight and adjust the toe in equally until the tires are straight ahead and the wheel is straight.
