Front wheel travel measurement
Does anyone know the tire center to center front measurement? Well, almost the center/height measurement. The body design will not allow it. So using a measuring tape on the back tire side and up to the lower front support, what is the across measurement? I'm waiting for more front end parts. In the meantime, I want to do a temporary string and tape measurement alignment. Struts are the only main suspension component left to replace. New struts will go on with new shafts. I'm confirming measurements with my brother. The rear measured 62 1/2" wide. The front as high as the measuring tape could go was 61 3/4" wide. The steering wheel is off center by a frog hair after replacing side control arms. A temporary alignment should help keep tires from wearing out too fast. Once a string alignment confirms which wheel is straightest, one or both tie rods will be adjusted to equal front and rear measurements.
