Preform DIY Garage Front End Alignment Vevor Caster Toe Plate Instructions and Review How To Camaro

Here is a quick video on how you can adjust your front wheel toe alignment yourself and save a bunch of money using the Vevor Alignment plate system. This video I will be doing the alignment on a 1968 Camaro which is the same procedure for the 1967 - 1969 1st Gen F Body Camaro and Firebird cars. You should always do an alignment after you replace any of your steering components, inner or outer tie rods, rack n pinion, Control Arms etc.

Was looking into the same Vevor toe/camber plates and it's worth the low cost of the product to try it out. Thanks for the great content!

I used some 12" vynal tiles, a strairedge, and a level to over come the slope in the driveway. I smeared some dawn dish soap between the tiles to make them turn easier. I used some 1" square aluminum tubing cut to fit inside the lip on the rims and a level. Worked great on a sagged out T100 torsion bar suspension.

Nice tip! Thanks for sharing

[@spamsquirrel]

Was just looking at these. Your video answered some quesions. Thanks.

Cool car with a great video. I’ll be buying this tool soon. Thanks for showing us how easy it is to do it at home.

[@trbokmro]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m in the middle of doing some tube control arms and decided to just go ahead and get some turn plates. Hopefully it makes the job even easier for about $130. These are the plates I bought but haven’t been able to use them yet, I’ll try to remember to follow up after I do with how they worked out

I've been using a Manco alignment gauge for over 20 years in my shop. It's dead-on accurate.

[@trbokmro]

I wish I would have had something like this years ago, very happy with the results!

@@trbokmro I like the ability of the Vevor to do camber.

[@PeterGoyer]

I just aligned my 2005 subaru outback. Turned out great with the Vevor tool. I have a flat foor in my garage, and a 2 post lift.

[@Mr26Huffy]

Interesting video and sweet car! I need to align my truck and I am tempted to get this kit. I have a question (and maybe I'm overthinking this) but how do you know which side to adjust when adjusting the toe, since you can get the tires parallel but still pointed left or right?

[@trbokmro]

I get the toe set then adjust if the steering wheel if it is off. Once toe is set and if the steering wheel is clocked one direction you just mark the tie sleeve and move both sides the same amount of turns till it drives straight and the wheel is straight.

[@edwardlacika3022]

Will you recheck the toe after adjusting the camber?

[@charleskuchinsky5028]

I was thinking a plastic lunch under the tire to make it eaisier to move the tire it should ask like when you put those little cups under furniture legs when moving. Give it a shot better than 200.00 for those plates.

[@trbokmro]

I heard using a couple vinyl peel and stick floor tiles with some dawn dish soap in between them worked well. I’ll be trying that next time!

[@randomthingschannel2692]

Don't forget your toe is now out after a camber change!!!!!!! Must be reset after.

[@trbokmro]

I get toe set, set camber then drive to see if the steering wheel needs straightened then do toe measurement again.

[@bjrnhenrymikkelsen706]

Camber first, toe second

[@alicenfred]

What about checking caster? do you need turn plates?

[@trbokmro]

I don’t know if you could set caster without turn plates since you need to turn the wheels 20 degrees each way and has to be precise. Someone mentioned using vinyl tiles with dawn soap in between to help make setting toe easier but I would think that would be very difficult to accurately get 20 degrees measured.

[@tigris4149a2]

Set your weight in the driver seat then measure it. The initial driver side measurement was probably dead on with you in the seat vs not.

[@kevinthorrington2131]

You might try using two pieces of cardboard under the tires, you won't have to roll the car back and fourth.

[@trbokmro]

I ended up getting turn plates. $145 well spent

[@Avalanche2]

The big problem with these kits is you HAVE TO make sure your front wheels, and of course your toe is square with/off the rear wheels and these kits have no way to do that. You can have the same measurements between the front and rear of the wheel, and be 90 degrees off.

[@larrybud]

Nobody ever takes their DIY alignment into a shop to see what it's really measured at...

[@bjrnhenrymikkelsen706]

If you put castor into it, it is a lot more complicated
