Yeah. I tried that before I said the heck with it and got the trammel bar
setup.
Basically I found myself trying to measure down to 1/16" and the (in my
case) two pieces of AL bar stock laying against the wheels didn't give me
repeatable results.
Depends on how anal you are. It was worth the $140 or so to me to get
numbers that I knew were accurate to 1/32" or so. MHO obviously.

(who's the same guys who's considering buying an ODB diagnostic tool just
so I can reset the fault codes without resetting the PCM, see live sensor
inputs, and see text warnings rather than flashing lights. Just call me
Mr. Tool Junky... :-)
