Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my Blog devoted to the restoration of my 1972 Datsun 240z. I purchased it in 2013 and have been actively working on my driving-restoration, so I can enjoy the car rather than having it in pieces for years. Please enjoy the write-ups below, as well as the how-to's. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. - Dave

Front alignment

As required by installing the new tie rods, I needed to perform a front wheel alignment.  Rather than paying $150 to a local shop, I decided to use the old string & tape measure(caliper) method.  Overall it worked fairly well.  The pictures of the wheels are before I did the alignment.  In the first shot you can see the toe-out of the driver's side.



I found this great image which describes alignment terms with pictures:
