Thinking about ordering this setup for measuring camber and toe on my 2021 P1K5.


Has anyone used this (or the basic toe-only version) on thier Pioneer?

I've recently installed the Fox QS3 shocks, the full SATV high clearance offset A-Arms and new Tusk Aramid Terrbites 30x10x15 on Tusk Uinta beadlocks 15x7.

My understanding is that the SATV arms were pre-adjusted for factory shocks and wheels, so I just gave the lower adjustable pivot blocks a few spins to try to get close to the correct camber. It's quite obvious that camber is way off on the rears and, while camber on the front looks OK to the naked eye, the fronts are toed way out.

So ... short of playing the old "close enough" game of strapping levels to the fronts (for toe) and eyeballing for camber, I was thinking of investing in this. I'd rather pay once for this than rely on a shop to do an alignment every time.

Thoughts?

My Hondas toe was way off from factory and wearing the front tires bad. I was wearing so bad I though the machines front end was sagging but that wasn't the case, just toe in was off. I did it the old way with a straight edge, square and measuring tape. I did go back back and tweak it a few times before I was happy with it but the tires now wear pretty straight. I wouldn't pay money for that tool. You dont' need it. Spend that money on something cool.

Thanks, @Bighat. Too late. Lol. I have other uses for it, and friends who will benefit from it as well.

I've never shied away from spending money on tools to do things 'better' because I don't always trust myself! Lol.

I will say that, now that I have adjusted the toe and have all the new suspension bits and tires & wheels (and despite too much negative camber), I don't feel like I am "fighting" the steering wheel like it felt from the factory. It requires far less input - almost like going from an old car with no power steering to a car with it.

I have the rough country alignment kit.
