It really isn't practical to adjust toe while the car is on the ground
I've done it for years without issue. If you makes you feel better you can make some "turntables" out of a couple piece of tile or similiar.

I know this will be an obvious and "dumb" question for many of you but hey, I gotta learn somewhere...
I've read through all the above posts and there is tons of great info but for those of you doing home/track alignments, how do you keep track of different toe positions? I understand changing camber will change toe and I understand how to mark different settings for camber but how do you mark different settings for toe? Count number of turns or mark with paint?
A GT350 with it's front splitter and underbody aero simply doesn't have enough ground clearance to allow adjusting the adjustments when the car is at static ride height on the ground. They're just plain out of reach.I've done it for years without issue. If you makes you feel better you can make some "turntables" out of a couple piece of tile or similiar.
Only thing I can think of would be resetting the steering angle sensor, particularly if the toe on one side needed more adjustment than the toe on the other side.How does the electric steering play into it when dialing in toe and having a steering wheel perfectly straight when complete? Thanks
Right now I have camber bolts and am limited to camber adjustments at a shop.
What is the best way to do camber adjustments at home/trackside that are accurate?
Are caster/camber plates enough?
If I get caster/camber plates should I restore the camber bolts to factory bolts?
What do you all use to determine the degrees of camber when you do adjustments?
Care to elaborate on this?Use the water bucket and aquarium tubing method to setup flat floor and 1/8" home depot flooring tiles.
Easiest way to ensure flat floor. Difficult to explain. Bucket water 1/2 full with aquarium tubing in it. run water to the other end of tube. tape this end on ruler. Put ruler on ground at LF, RF, LR, RR take readings. The water level denotes level. The numbers are what you need to add or subract in 1/8" tiles to get the 4 pads level.Care to elaborate on this?
