Tape measure front and rear toe and go alignment with some interesting wheel jigs.

Neat, a triangle that touches the rim and mounts on hub...

I ended up purchasing some large toe plates, these ones...

Pardon Our Interruption...

I know they rest on the tire bulge...
But I figure the bulge should be centered and it shouldn't affect toe measurement much..

Now I just need to purchase an angle finder for camber.

I just purchased a set similar to yours to realign my 2008 tahoe. How did these work for you since there is no cut out for tire bulge?

I feel like they sit firmly and the tire bulge negligible I hope.
Checking toe with one tape rule seemed very consistent as I went back and forth.
I've been planning to check camber with an angle guage, will get back to you on that in a few days hopefully.

Z height info:

Paging Mr GoodWrench … alignment & importance of ‘Z’ height questions.

I had Firestone do a front end alignment and want to be more knowledgeable before returning. On a recent trip to Phoenix the vehicle wanted to drift ever so slightly left at highway speeds, and more so now. The work order states all tires were at 35psi and vehicle road tested before and after...
