6" ruler. With the wheels off, line the ruler up with the kingpin tops across the line of the axle and then check each axle by eye. I usually do this with the electrics on so the servo is held at its centre position.

The eye is astonishingly accurate! It's easy to see if the axles are parallel to the ruler. It's also easy to add a smidge of toe, in or out, equally each side. HTH

Thanks for that , i didnt want to spend a fortune on a setup station when there is a straight forward simple way that people use.
Much appreciated.

If anybody else does things differently please share as you can always teach an old dog new tricks, and some people take to different methods, so please share.

I've been using the straight lines on my setup board but have found it a bit hit and miss, hence the reason for looking for other methods.

Thanks,
Shiny

Eyeball it! Parrallel is the norm on pan cars.

Static camber should be adjusted to get even wear across the width of the front tyres. -1.5deg will be somewhere close.

I have a hudy setup system... hasn't been out of its box for months!
