yes, perhaps i didn't read the original procedure description closely
enough, but it might be easiest to have it on the ground and push the whole
car one revolution of the wheel so that both wheels would be forced to turn
the same distance if you could find a way to do this and still retrieve and
measure the string, otherwise, jack up one rear wheel only with other on
floor as is often done for balancing rear wheels and follow above
directions
