Do you pay for your alignments?

Why would *anyone* strap through the wheels? (don't take that wrong)

Porsche uses hooks to grab the tub when in transit on the boats.

Two hooks grab the frame rails just behind front axle centerline, the rear two hooks go into the rear outer jacking points.

Pulling the wheels has a tendency to knock the TOE out!! The tighter you make the straps? the more it is flexing the suspension (when grabbing the wheels)

If I didn't check my customer cars prior to (and sometimes during events) I would not have seen this 20+ years ago

Bottom line: it's OK if you check the alignment like we do in the Pro's (between every session) Not OK if you are paying someone to align the car once a year (don't laugh) I get people *proudly* telling me "I haven't had my car aligned in 2 years!!" (That is why you are 4seconds behind my customer cars) lol
