Any wheel alignment issues?
I am using Dr. Ruth's string alignment procedure outlined on the '33 HR Forum, to rough align my early chassis (#15) '35 Pickup. I think his procedure should work on the pickup. I have installed the rear axle per the manual, centered the panhard rod, measured axle to cabin bulkhead, and everything seems OK.
When I stretch the string from the rear wheels up to the front wheels (for setting toe) I would expect the distance from string to wheel edge to be similar on each side of the car. But, I am getting 3 7/8" on left side and 5 3/8" on the right side (string to tire side). In my simple mind, that would imply my rear axle is cocked to one side, or am I missing something.
Would you guys that have done a home alignment like to comment?
Thanks, Ralph
