    i read the notice a couple of weeks ago and thought that i should have saved something, but couldn't come up with what that would have been. now i know... the alignment writeup using legos and twine. i'm not going to post it anywhere else as per the requests on the page, but a helpful hint or copy would be appreciated.

    i remember the basic idea, wrap twine around the tires at the same height using legos on the front of the front tires and measuring the difference in toe, but i'm not quite sure of myself on this one.

    nothing too difficut about the fsm procedure, but why return something to straight and then apply two turns when you can just correct it to begin with...i believe that's the procedure, no FSM manual around me. besides, how ya gonna measure centered up?? the legos are just a "technique" to get the measurement.
