Re: RomPirate's new-new-new-new-new car
I'm tired of paying lots of $$ for alignments so I'm giving it a shot with my own setup:
My maths tells me that i'm at +0.179 degrees which is allegedly within spec.

I would think you should zip down all the lug nuts, not just have the two nuts holding the straightedge and no nuts on the other studs. I've never worked on that vehicle but on many vehicles the rotor depends on the lug nuts to keep it straight and true, though a tight caliper will make the rotor look straight and true.

Well that alignment will tell in the driving, immediately if it does not pull or veer, and longer term if the tires wear correctly.
