Lol. The advice is sound. Yes it is usually handed out with a swift kick to the ass.Your method of giving intensely condescending "advice" sucks more dick than an intern in Clinton's office.
Edit: that was at Duke.

Maybe, caster is a pain because you have to go 20 degrees in each direction and calculate it out. Helps to have two people to do it right. I can usually eye ball mine these days then I just set toe and center my steering wheel. I need to buy alignment plates some day.
plumb bob on the a ladder with a board as a boom to get it where you need it... essentially the longer the string, the more accurate the measurement. i used to do this with the Nissan to adjust/test shit at home before taking to the alignment shop to get locked in. (coil overs, sway bars, stiffened)Yeah, I'm hoping I can find a way to avoid doing math and just measure it directly.
I just eyeball it, then throw it on the trailer and drive out to the desert.
Or the few times I get a legit alignment, I just have them set the toe, and center the steering. I HAD lifetime alignment, but management recently changed and they no longer offer lifetime. Fuck them.

87 Maxima handled like a very heavy go cart. 4 wheel disc brakes, anemic v6...not fast, but FUN and ok milage.
good times. miss that car. got totalled by some old lady pulling out of a country club. can't make that up shit up. straight out of a bad 80s movie plot. the wife (then gf) was with me and banged up pretty good. no airbags and she keeps her feet on the floorboard now.
That would work, especially since I care more about it being equal than about a specific number. I'll just fuck with it until the ride is good, then make it even.
I usually start by maxing out my caster on both sides, then get camber as close to 0 as possible, then set toe. Usually comes in around 3.4ish caster
American Tire DepotFirestone? I haven't been in awhile but I'm almost due. Have to see what they say to me.
cuz how can you put a price on a finger murderer. always good to have a table saw. just got a new one last week after finally admitting the track saw can't do it all. got a festool track off estate sale. best purchase ever. sooo much easier, faster setup, light years safer. there is still no replacement for a table saw though. hack the wings and drop a router on the side. boom. super useful.Lots of scores lately, been nice to find a few low dollar things.
Like this guy.

I have to condition the table top since it's cast and rusted, but beyond that it's a sound unit.
Got it for a song.
I can say that no matter how rich I get, I'll probably never bother with anything by festool.
"Buy a set of clamping saw guides and a DeWalt skill saw for 300 bucks, or, buy this festool saw for 1500 bucks that does the same thing 5% faster due to over-engineering."
Probably won't ever get a sawstop either. Good gimmick for high school kids. But 3g USD on a tablesaw ain't about to happen.
Edit:
I should say, I'm not knocking your choices. Festool makes great stuff, they're THE high end finishing and millwork brand, in my opinion.
But I'm just not going to see the advantages to them because I'm not cranking out pieces at a high volume. If you got it at an estate sale and didn't pay retail for it, that's a great score!
The sawstop thing is just opinion. They work fantastically, but in my 19 years of using tablesaws (10 pro), I've never found myself in need of one. Not to say I won't, I suppose.
For the cost of a sawstop I'll likely never use for its intended purpose, I can get a General tablesaw, 10" jointer, and a decently sized lathe.
Sawstops are priced out of the consumer market. For a shop who can probably swing some workers comp insurance reductions thanks to them? Yep.
For the guys at home.. 2k for a regular table saw is a really high ask.
doing a whole house reno. 3000sqft of stranded bamboo floors (hard as rocks), with a Diablo blade, barely broke a sweat, even doubled up. the slide is butter smooth with very little to no slop, quiet and look forward to using every time.I like those Bosch saws (Bosch makes good saws and not much else).
But I just use a table from 2x10 and some saw horses. Free, and good for cutting over dimensional stuff.
Those rolling tables are a pain.
