Could you get closer by trying?
In alignment specs it miles away.
I've never done an alignment with a proper machine, but i've seen it done a few times. It might be an old car thing, but it looked like the error was around 0.5mm
Has anyone who actually does wheel alignments done the measurements then driven down the highway and then re-measured? I'd be interested to know the differences that were measured.
I figure that by the time you take into account the play in rack ends, tie rods, ball joints, bushes, wheel bearings, and wheel casting irregularities, that 0.5mm is about error.
