Quote:
When using the fixed end as a starting point on the right wheel, how do you know what the existing toe is on the right wheel?
And how do you incorporate any possible existing toe on the right into setting the toe on the left?
And how does any setting in front fit in with a rear wheel alignment to get the overall 4-wheel alignment?
I am missing something.

This tool is just an estimator rather than a percision tool.
From my understanding, and per Bentley Guide if you turn the wheel to the left and to the right staring from center till stop, you can determine, or estimate if the initial toe is off or not. Of course it will be almost impossible to determine the 1/100th measurements but you will get a good starting point. Adjust if needed then measure Toe.
As you can see on my Just Tires read out my Toe was 0.01 degrees off. Not bad.
Hell if you can, go to Just Tires and get a read out, adjust then have them re-check. Just let them think you will buy tires from them. In my case, I will be.
Hey Pete, Steve used your method to determine the level of the floor of his garage.
