Whatever you say. The OP wouldn't be posting if something wasn't wrong. Either there is a mechanical issue or he is having issues with the measurement. Either way, it's appropriate for him to seek help - not encourage him that it's an easy driveway measurement and keep at it. Congrats that you can measure toe-in. I'll send you my 4 link calculator and you can advise me on my anti-squat, understeer, and instant center. I assume a smart guy like you can set up a simple double triangulated 4 link rear suspension?

I would have to agree with you, I did everything on my alignment myself in my driveway with a tape measure, had help holding the tape on opposite tire. My tires are new and have like a rubber casting that goes the diameter of the tire so I just went off that from front to back to set my 1/8" toe in. Used that same line on tire to center my axle under jeep. I may go to a shop who does free alignment check just to see if I'm off but not in a hurry.
