In this video, after replacing a bunch of front end suspension and steering parts, I give my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4x4 a diy alignment using some fishing line, jack stands and a ruler. This alignment, commonly referred to as a string alignment, turned out pretty decent actually and the truck drives perfectly straight down the road.
The string alignment method only adjusts the ‘toe’ of the vehicle and is very temporary which should allow some time to make adjustments to other suspension parts if needed and get the truck to a professional alignment shop without potentially hurting the tires.
