Front end alignment at home

I use 1/8" steel plates with grease between for my turnplates. I marked the top one with a mark with the wheels straight and marks that show 20 degrees in each direction using a protractor. The bottom one I just put a single mark and I ensure that the top plate mark for straight is aligned with the bottom plate mark to begin. You could just use tape marks on the floor established with a protractor if you prefer.

Yup. These cars were not built with lasers. You don't need one to align them as accurately as they will ever be
