I thought I saw some postings on measuring toe on all 6 wheels using string.

I get the basic concept, but I am wondering how you make sure the string is parallel with the coach?
Seems kinda important!

Fella's;

Dave Lenzi was a guest of the Greater Midwest Classics rally last week-end near Northfield, MN. He brought along his jigs for doing 6 wheel alignment, along with many of his other special tools that he has fabricated, especially for front-end work. Here are a couple of pic's regarding a 6 wheel alignment check. This was a 'working' rally, and the result was many happy GMC'ers, after they got their coach's front end up to spec's.
