If you’re constantly tweaking your suspension, adjusting camber, or replacing tie rods, you’ve probably realized how annoying it is to visit an alignment shop after every change. Good news: you don’t have to anymore.
With the right home alignment tool, you can get pro-level results in your own garage — and stop wasting time and money every time you make a change to your setup.
Why You Need a Home Alignment Tool
Modern suspension setups are dynamic — and if you drive a drift car, track car, or even a slammed street build, you’re constantly changing things:
- Ride height
- Toe settings
- Camber plates
- New arms or spacers
Each of those affects alignment. And if you’re relying on a shop to dial it back in every time, you’re spending hundreds per year — and driving around with a poorly set-up car between appointments.
What Makes a Good Alignment Tool?
A proper alignment tool should give you accurate, repeatable measurements with minimal guesswork. Look for:
- Camber measurement: The ability to check and set camber from wheel or hub face
- Toe measurement: A fast and consistent way to read toe across both wheels
- Portability: Can be used trackside or in your garage without extra jigs or lifts
- Compatibility: Works across multiple platforms and wheel sizes

How to Align Your Car at Home
Here’s how to use a home alignment tool like ours:
- Park on a flat surface
- Mount the camber tool directly to the hub or wheel face
- Check camber on both sides — adjust upper mounts or arms as needed
- Use toe plates and tape measures to measure toe across front/rear
- Adjust tie rods to get desired toe spec
- Double check steering wheel centering and remeasure
You can easily set front toe, rear toe, front camber, and cross-check side-to-side differences — without leaving your garage.
When to Re-Align
- After replacing tie rods or arms
- After a track day or drift event
- When you lower or raise your car
- Any time your steering feels off or you change tire sizes
Why Shops Aren’t Always Better
Alignment racks can be great — but only if the operator knows what they’re doing and isn’t rushing through a general setting. Most shops use preset specs not optimized for your build. If you want custom toe, extra camber, or a drift-ready setup — you need your own tools.
Take Control of Your Setup
If you’re serious about performance — or just tired of paying for small changes — investing in a proper alignment tool pays for itself fast.
