I have a toe-in bar(spring loaded) that I've used checking toe-in on earlier
buses and bugs where you could  place the toe-in bar points on the metal
brake drum and have a solid place to measure from.  My Vanagon has a backing
plate that gets in the way and is not  solid(inflexible) enough anyway.
Does anyone have a way to do this without going to a drive on alignment
rack?
