Longacre Racing 79501 Aluminum Toe-in Plates with Magnets and Two Tape Measures, Integrated Magnets Allow One Man Operation, Quick and Easy Way to Check Toe-in

Just what I needed. Works perfectly to find the toe in. Great quality product even comes with the tape measures. Tried the ones that bolt to rotor but you cant get a accurate reading when car sits up and suspension is fully suspended. These work because car is down. Very recommended

Very simple to set up and measure toe-in/out without an extra set of hands and while the wheels and tires are on. Comes with two identical tape measures adequate for the job. A little more expensive than the competition, but high quality, and the magnets hold the tape measures in place well.

Did a couple of alignments with them. Vehicles drive straighter than an alignment service and tires are holding up after quite a number of miles. The tape measures worked fine, but hey sag as measurements are being made. It is very likely they sag to the same catenary curve as long is tension is equivalent so the measurements work. I would always use identical tape measures on both sides due to this phenomenon of physics. I will note, alignments are tricky. Aligning both toes to the caster, steering wheel, camber adjustment for drift and ensuring adequate threads on each tie rod end are all involved. Not to mention tackling the front to rear alignment. These plates will set only toe, but with that, a string, a micrometer, and a level, the rest can be gotten. It can all be done with quite high accuracy, I have been doing my own alignments for years my vehicles drive straighter than ever, and after thousands of miles I am still on the same tires. That being said, getting an alignment completed properly can take quite a bit of time and understanding. Setting toe is the biggest aspect and these plates do that actually pretty good.

Very simple and convenient kit to align your vehicle at home and on the go. I have been using it to align my Jeep and my Sienna for years. Can’t beat the value-benefit ratio, it pretty much paid for itself on the first use.

Solid aluminum plates no flex. Great quality.

Longacre Racing 79501 Pros: - Ability to check your own toe at home any time on your own time and pace. Cons: - Might have to use something heavy to prop the plates up so they don't move. - Would be good if there was some sort of center mark on the plate. I've just been eyeballing center; but has potential to give inaccurate readings. - Because the tape measures are printed the same orientation, reading the number on the front tape slot vs. the rear tape slot might be tricky. As you will be looking at the slot from different angles, and the slot might be blocking the numbers you are trying to read. Other: - I don't really use the magnetic parts of the slots; I feel like it could cause inconsistent reads. I just use the plain slot. - Consider using care when carrying/moving the plates so you don't drop or hit them on anything and warp the flatness. - Mainly effective for adjusting front end. (Can check rear, but can't adjust to align with the body). I bought these plates along with the parts for changing inner tie rods. Way better than having to take it to an alignment shop after. I take many measurements just so I get a good average read. I will do things like reset the tapes, switch them around, and switch the toe plates from one side to another. I prop up the far side plate with 2 jugs of antifreeze. The toe will be as accurate as the time and effort you yourself put into it. But the DIY nature of this, you can check it as many times and whenever you want. After my repair job, I check it again several days later to see if it still reads the same. This is a great tool to have; almost a necessity if you are doing any tie rod work, so you don't have to spend your time and money taking it in. (Tip:) For inner tie rod job - when eyeballing the installed outer tie rod, err on the side that will cause you to adjust the adjusting rod in a tightening fashion (I think toe out). If you have to adjust by 'loosening' the rod, there might be a small chance of loosening the inner tie rod you just installed (especially if you didn't stake the lock washer down snug, which you might be inclined to do because it's a pita to unstake). It probably doesn't matter, but it seems like more piece of mind.

Great product. A wheel alignment costs $70 here and so I thought I could spend the $57, save a little and have the plates around for the fleet of 53 cars I manage rather than taking them to a shop. My pickup was wearing the inside of the front tires, so having just installed an expensive set of new tires, I wanted to check the toe. Sure enough, it was toed out about 1/8". A couple of cautionary procedural notes. 1. As I turned the adjusters not much apparent change occurred in the measurement. After I adjusted as much as I perceived was correct and taking the plates off I moved the truck back then forward and rechecked. The alignment was perfect. 2. Tire pressure should be the same on both sides. As others have stated in the reviews, I used a couple of 4x4's to add a little pressure to assure the plates remained squarely against the tires.

These are simple and exactly what I needed. Do yourself a favor, ditch the included measuring tapes and Amazon yourself a laser measuring tape for faster and more accurate readings. I’ve been using this one for three years, and it’s amazing how accurate and user friendly it is! https://www.amazon.com/Laser-Measure-Distance-Bubble-Levels/dp/B0BRN9VT58/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=1MCD0RECH954G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SDWMDvBZu8IM4UBwh_x2zJNDrXtDZHPPQLMUmbJ7u0_A9FMplIwQt99JZAdX1b3Js3HzBqDolsmG7DUqJDRHCfbT_sxNwYu80cfv7FXI0F6Mz9_GGOMtY3vomXDTuuk0KXMiM6jZ5Q6dky2ftm1a74Sn4CZrUnkZGdVqrxfMKREMt3Z9V9iTd8VYzTDWQtfYnEaBEuLY0_E5QFJmNwm2Ag.ZYKXR8V682VCYnC-Q_slgWcobag1R1ajTo6w_ntJJRY&dib_tag=se&keywords=tacklife+hd60&qid=1712923438&sprefix=tacklife+hd60%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2

Very quick and easy to use. 1/32” =0.166 degree total toe.

These are a great addition your garage for quick checks of your vehicle’s toe. The only improvement would be to provide an option for metric units ape measures.

Exactly what i needed to get my toe all dialled in on my cars

Love It

These work great. I’ve lined up many cars and got them to drive straight and no tire wear. The magnets don’t stay on well. I prefer to not have them at all as some dirt can mess up the measurement.
