A simple method for checking front and rear toe alignment

The "string method" for checking toe settings is well known and described in this forum.

What you will need are these simple tools:

1. Two 4 meter long builders straight edges

2. Four 5 liter sprinkler fluid bottles

And the setup is simple too, like this:
