It worked good and I even took photos if you (or anyone)want to see them. I used two metal yard sticks of the same width and put one on top of two spray paint cans so the yard sticks could rest up against each tire. I then used two tape measures to sit on top of a paint can on each side and span across to the other side of the vehicle. I made sure everything was snug with no slack or gaps anywhere, and then just read the tape measures. As I adjusted the tie rods, I could re-adjust the yard sticks and tape measures and visually see where I was at the time. I decided to put 1/8" of toe-in at the front. The service manual call for a tiny bit less. Make sure your tires are pointing perfectly forward before you start. I think it took all of 20 minutes to do. Rick Mc : Hi, I just bought some new tires for my 2A and when to go and check the toe in/out on the front end : Thanks
