    Sure does..

    When adjusting the A arm, I tend to lift the wheel assym as close to the lower bj as possible and only to clear touching the ground. Makes moving the wheel allot easier.

    I aligned mine own because I don't have anyone I trust.

    I use the SPC Fastrax Gauge with the Tow adapters.

    I've got the Speedway version of this, with my Billet Specialty wheels, I have to remove them for it to work. I measure from the a-arm to the floor, remove both front tires and block the a-arms back to that dimension. Makes those 20° turns pretty easy!

    Not a bad price! Pay itself off after 6 or 8 uses.
