3. Check Base Alignment
01.01
| 00:00 | - Now that we have our alignment equipment set up, we can start by checking our current alignment settings. |
| 00:05 | We need to do this, obviously, so that we know what adjustments are needed to get us to our new targets. |
| 00:11 | However often this step can reveal a potential problem that may be leading to a handling issue anyway. |
| 00:17 | For example, we could pick up a bent suspension component that's effecting camber and toe on one corner of the car that may not have otherwise been immediately obvious. |
| 00:26 | This is another reason why it's important to document your setup because you can now compare the alignment settings you've just taken to how the car was aligned last time. |
| 00:36 | Provided you're performing your alignments regularly, this will let you highlight a potential problem quickly, before it creates more serious trouble. |
| 00:44 | It also can work as a sanity check if you've somehow got your strings set up incorrectly as the toe readings will be well off what you had previously documented. |
| 00:52 | This obviously should be an alarm bell to make you recheck the string setup. |
