Any one have info on setting rear caster and just what it would accomplish?
Seems the New Z06 is adjustable for that!

Resurrecting this old but fantastic thread. Has anyone tried the Longacre tire scribe and toe gauge to check toe? In theory this sounds like an easier way to set toe but I'm clear how the scribe process works and how accurate that is.

that is what alignment shops used before lasers. the wheels need to be off the ground the scribe is placed against the tires rotate and it scribes a line around the tire. set it back down and measure front and back between the lines.
