I've been tinkering with my suspension for the past few weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading on how to do your own DIY alignments, and I just want to get feedback from someone that has a picture (taken looking down) of the rear wheel after getting a "professional" alignment that reads 0 toe or 0.05 degree of toe in (very very little). I have enough poke on my rear wheel that I can use my rear fender as a guide to get me extremely close. I'm almost positive that the wheel should be parallel to the edge of the fender for zero toe. That's how it is for the front...which I got done at a shop. I haven't tweaked the front yet, but I plan to tomorrow. I'm by no means a newb when it comes to suspension, but I refuse to take my car to a shop full of clueless people. Plus it's a mission to get my car on the rack bc it's so low. Im running -4.5 camber in the rear which I verified with a flat edge and a digital angle finder, so toe is extremely important to me to prevent premature wear.

If you post a pic, please describe which way the car is facing.

 

Not the best pic, but you get the idea

 

Not exactly what I was looking for. I understand the concept.

I'm looking for an actual pic of our car.

 

Don't know if this is the angle you're wanting but mine is at 0.08 w/ camber at -0.6 degrees. If you want a pic directly looking stright down I can shoot one tomorrow AM

 

I'm looking for a camera angle like this, and preferably with the ride of the wheel showing for better accuracy:

I can try but I'm not poked so we'll see how it turns out. I could go at a slight outside-in angle though.

 

Ok. Give it a shot. Thanks!

 

I'll take a pic of mine, and you guys can tell me how it compares to your verified toe specs. I think that'll make it easier for you.

 

About the best I could do, looking straight down the drivers' side~

 

That's actually pretty good!

It looks like it's virtually parallel to the fender, with only a small hint of the front pointing inward. Is that safe to say? If that's the case, my car is pretty spot on.

Thanks for taking the time to take the pic. I'll try to post pics of mine later just to compare.

 

It takes a pretty good eye but looking straight from the rear to the front of the car at ground level there is a very faint inward tilt, and I mean it's faint

 

Dont look at your body panels for a reference,
Im OCD, and even when the alignment is dead on, it looks off.
Drives me nuts.
