    Don't let a kid out smart you.
    technically? It drives straight with the wheel at a slight angle to the right, but tire wear on the front have been good. My rough at home alignment check with some corner squares and a laser just showed that they were both tuned a bit to the left and no real noticeable difference in toe. Either way I just ordered camburg UCA's and It's been like this for 2 years sooo. The alignment can wait until Christmas when I do my my LCS bushings.

    Corner square and laser method? Hmmm, I use the strings and PVC pipe method. Is your way easier?

    Maybe. I use %*& corner squares a yard stick and a laser tape measure type thing. This method definitely isn't some crazy precise process since my measurement are based off the Rear wheels not having any kind of toe which in theory should be fine because they are solid axles but practically you probably get 0.05-0.1 degrees of difference between the two but good enough if I'm just checking. Anyway using a tard stick and a square or two I get the laser as close to perfectly parallel to the rear tire as I can at about an inch or 2 away from the tire. Then on the front tire I use the yard stick behind the tire to give me a flat and straight surface to put 2 squares up against that stick out past the tread and there little laser beam. From there I use another square since I got them in pack and level to keep the square 90 degrees vertical as I slolwy move it from the tire until it its the beam and I write down the measurement. Do that for the front square and back square rinse and repeat

    Me too. First trip ever, I’ve not needed an alignment after a Tundra trip. After Smiley Rock I was really surprised.

    Sorry horrible miss spelling. But at least the coin decided in your favor. And I remembered that my bike is all fucked. So I’ll be there bright and early at 10 with plenty of coffee
