Toe Plates Wheel Alignment Tool - Most Accurate Toe Plates on The Market - Made in USA

If you need to do a toe alignment these work well and are very accurate for setting total toe. The plates are nice and flat and sit well against the rim. Very good quality.

They work but make sure you have a flat surface and your rim lip isn't dented where the standoffs will contact. I was skeptical of these plates so I confirmed with a string alignment and the reading was accurate.If you have a rocky surface (like I have rocky asphalt in the pic) it can throw off the measurements. Both plates must contact the ground fully so they can't pivot or otherwise move. On asphalt it's harder than it sounds, you may have to reposition the car. Their video shows rubber feet on either side and that may help. I don't know if those came with mine.If your rim has dents where the standoffs will contact (my metal rims have dents everywhere balance weights used to be) you must reposition the car until that is no longer the case. All standoffs must contact a true part of the rim lip that is not bent.Triple check your measurements by going back and forth from one plate to the other to make sure they are still secured and in the right position. Once it happened that I pulled the tape measure through but the metal end rivet got caught on the plate. You want to make sure everything is right when you take the measurements.After I received these plates I was concerned because there was a slight gap when I held them back to back. It turns out there is a gap on both sides that is equal as part of the manufacturing process, according to the seller. I confirmed this. Also I put the standoffs on and put them back to back clamped in the center (lightly so as not to distort) and also had uniform measurements on both sides. Refer to picture.The nylon nuts suck and are easy to cross thread. They give you a few extra.

This can also measure CAMBER and CASTER for $20 more. See way belowThis item will do the job, but its not as nice as depicted in the video, if you watched it.1. The plates are not tall enough for my tires. I have to put a 2inch wooden plank on the floor on each to elevate the plate high enough so that the "screw tips" can contact the inside of my wheel base. This makes the setup a little bit wobbly at times so I have to fiddle a bit to find a spot where the plates don't move.2. The plates don't "snap back together" like shown in the video. In order to do that, you have to unscrew all the tips, and reassemble them on the other side if the plate. This can take a while. Also the plates only stick together due to the pinching of the tape measures.3. The black screw tips that contact the wheelbase are made of plastic. They cross-thread VERY EASILY in the aluminum part. Since you'll have to screw/unscrew them every time you want to snap the plates back together, that is a big downside. I chose to not unscrew them ever for that reason, and store them differently than shown.4. Because the tips screw/unscrew, you have to make sure that they are all screwed the same amount, otherwise the difference of length in each tip will mess your results up. I used a caliper to verify, but screwing to the max should work fine.This can also measure CAMBER and CASTER for $20 more.I saw no reason to buy the more expensive $200 3300 model for that. Instead, I just bought a $20 digital angle finder like the one included in the $200 pack. You can use the angle finder with this model to measure camber in almost the same way that you would use the $200 model.Caster can also be done if you replace the included triangle with a piece of paper folded at a set angle. Do a bit of research on the internet on how to do it. AFAIK you turn the wheel 20degrees (turnangle1), measure the camber, then 20 degrees the other way (turnangle2), measure again, then use the followin formula: Caster (deg) = (180 / 3.1415) * [(camber1 - camber2) / (turnangle1 - turnangle2)]

Does exactly what it says. Honestly for most work- a toe and go-this just can't be beat. Takes a few extra minutes to get centered, but when you consider an alignment machine costs minimum 5k plus all the salesman B's plus their endless freakout about how level your surface is +++... I'll keep this and buy some turntables to make it easier.Update. Doesn't actually work the best with larger not low profile tires. Which makes no difference to me. I generally use it on cars, but decent sized truck tires it's hard to get them to stay flat against the wheel without a second set of hands.Also the more I use it the faster I get and the better "feel" I have for adjustments. Our brains are really good when we work them. First full alignment (caster camber toe) I did probably took me an hour and a half more than the machine. But I'm getting so used to these I'm probably at 40 minutes over using a full rack. Hope to get that to 20-30.
