Morning,

Im contemplating purchasing some tracking tools for use after replacing steering tie-rods.etc

Can anyone recommend anything - I have a budget of around £200.

Many thanks.

this, google stringing for tracking, i use green fishing line, and a good ruler, all you need, oh and four objects to place around the car,axel stands work well, but anything will work, total cost less than a tenner, better than a zillion quid lazer setup

I've used Track Ace many times, bit fiddly until you get the hang of it.

I've got a Gunson Trakrite that I got from a car boot sale for £2. https://www.gunson.co.uk/product/G4008/Trakrite-Wh...

Drive over it, it'll tell you whether the tracking is in or out, or within tolerance. I was given a pair of Dunlop tracking gauges like these, but they tend to be quite expensive when you find them, though I don't use them as often as the Trakrite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccr3SJ13qgk
