Every car needs an alignment eventually. If you just changed your suspension, got new parts, or something just isn't feeling right, you might need an alignment. But is it better to do that alignment at home or have a pro tackle it? On this episode of DIY or Don't, we have an alignment professional take a look at our turbocharged Miata. And if thats not enough, we also see if corner balancing can be done with bathroom scales. Watch our host Zach Jobe struggle with his inadequate tools as Tanner from OC Alignment watches on and laughs.

@ryandague4473 2 года назад

Yea, I don't know why they do it. An alignment is pretty cheap and fast. For the price of all the scales and plates you could get ten alignments. I assume they are just doing it for educational purposes to show that it can be done in a driveway.

@demonikelectronik 2 года назад

Used to align and corner balance my race car with bathrooms scales, home made alignment bars with string, and a caster/camber gauge. Everything cost under $200 bucks and at 8-10 alignments a year saved me a fortune, besides the hassle of hauling the car to somewhere to do it.

I've aligned cars a bunch of times myself, it's not that bad. Toe plates and a FasTrax caster camber gauge. I have a spot in my garage I've marked with the offsets I need using a laser level and I just have some wood and sticky tiles I use on all 4 corners to get the car level and to bring the car up a little bit to be able to get under the car. Set your caster and camber first, then toe. You may have to go back and forth between toe and camber since they affect each other, but it doesn't usually take that long. Corner balancing though, just get some real scales or take it to someone. If setting the alignment is taking a while and you're chasing your tail, it's likely because you have some worn suspension parts (ball joints or tie rod ends).

@zachsempsey1311 2 года назад

This is the most informative and helpful car content since Science Garage ended. Knowing Jobe has more base knowledge than I do, and then seeing how hard he struggles versus watching a pro do it really gives you an idea of when it makes sense to turn the wrenches yourself and when it makes sense to actually GO TO YOUR JOB and earn the money to pay a professional.

@ariel_kirkwood 2 года назад

I wonder if my experience is typical or not. I replaced all struts/shocks on my 97 Honda del Sol and paid $700-800 for professional labor; they threw in an after-install alignment for less than $130. $300 for alignment feels hella expensive relatively speaking! Did I just get a good deal from my favorite shop? EDIT: It's gotta be the "mobile" convenience part of what Tanner's doing. Great work!

The alignment you got was most likely what we call a "toe-and-go". This is what we do on most FWD macpherson strut suspensions where camber & caster is fixed. The reason it's $300 is because it's a performance alignment (Camber, Caster & toe) & corner balancing.

@CharlezMalasana 2 года назад

I have an old Chevy van that we lifted, beefed up the suspension, bigger wheels, lsd etc. we installed old school deep dish wheels but every year I have to replace the gearbox because it leaks like a mofo… some Firestone places won’t even look at it to align it. They just see it and lsay that is too heavy or too tall or they can’t use their plates on the deep dish wheels. I also have had places that the shims fell on the drive out, or I had to go back 2 times to get the alignment right. If you find a decent local shop it’s amazing, but in my experience it’s 2 out of 3 shops that suck if you have a modded vehicle. With my tundra they are just fine. But still…. It’s a necessary evil

String box is how I've ensured proper alignment on my vehicles - I concur, it is a bit tedious, but was totally necessary when I had to troubleshoot some bad tire wear issues I was having on my mk4 GTI - ended up having a damaged rear torsion beam (needed to shim one of the rear wheels). I would never have figured that out without stringing the car and finding the thrust angle of the rear was out. Never had to touch the car's alignment since then (been good for over 100k miles). Tires wear perfectly even ever since.

I fully agree that this should be left to the pros... as long as they are good at it. I bought lifetime alignment from Firestone/Tires Plus for $275. After more than 10 alignments that kept working out after a few weeks, I started working at a shop that did alignments and being ASE Certified in suspension and steering, I was the one picked to do them. Once I got good at it, I pulled my own in to see what gave the alignment techs such an issue. Took about 3 hours with the proper tools and a vehicle lift to get everything right, but it stayed that way for years. Now I need struts and don't work there anymore. Hope Firestone got some better techs. :P

Your results would've been accurate if you leveled the floor and used the string box. Not doing those things ensures your other measurements are useless.

@gm5383 2 года назад

You can do this a lot cheaper. A digital angle gauge is about £20 (they have varying degrees of accuracy, get a good one), you can get camber gauges that hang off the wheel and are magnetic to hold the angle gauge for you for about £20 as well, you can use cheap self adhesive vinyl tiles attached to a squares of wood for turn plates, and use some cotton, axle stands, and a tape measure to make a string box for toe. All in it should be about £60. I do my track alignment with this a few times a year and have had it checked on a professional rig a couple of time and been within 0.1 degrees so it's definitely possible to do a good job, you just must have a level floor and it can take quite a long time going back and forth all the time. It's one of those things where once you've done it a couple of times it gets a lot easier and quicker, although setting rear toe on a miata is always a shit.

I worked at a shop for years. Were $54.95 when I started and $69.95 by the time I left for in store alignments. But the reason it is $300 is because it’s for a mobile alignment. Someone coming to your house or business to do it. Then the price sounds right. Most people just drive their cars in but if it’s utterly jacked a mobile alignment may be needed. Almost seems like it would be cheaper to tow to alignment shop, though. We did mobile alignments for semis but not cars. But I guess some do cars.

Our DIY alignment tools of choice are a set of Longacre toe plates and a couple of tape measures for under $80 along with a FASTRAX Camber/Caster Gauge for under $180. Easily repeatable results. We recently got a set of scales to do cornerweighting, but have really found a need for a set of leveling pads like the ones shown in here. Those look like a good DIY welding project all by themselves.

Hilarious that this came out today lol. I mangled my tie rod ends with the removal fork because I was too cheap to buy the right tool and will be installing new ones today :)

What is the right tool? I've never had problems doing anything other than banging them out.

Can’t post a link here. Look for Schwaben ball joint separator. Measure accordingly

Hit the Part where it sits in from the side with a Hammer. Then hit the rod end carefully With a Hammer.

@@matufujiwara7493 they save time when you have to replace part, but when you need to save part they are definately not the right tools. They damage boots easily.
