Basic String Alignment Kit

With this kit and some inexpensive tubing from your local hardware store, you’ll be able to measure toe and thrust angle on almost any car at home. Plastic parts are 3D printed from extremely durable plastic, and feature an updated design to allow a wider range of tubing diameters to be used without affecting accuracy.

What makes our 3D printed parts different? It starts with our material—rather than using PLA or PETG plastic like most consumer printers, we print every kit with temperature resistant ABS plastic in our signature orange color. With similar chemistry to what you’ll find under the hood of modern cars, this material won’t melt, bend or crack when subjected to life at the race track. Everything is covered by the Caliper Garage Guarantee. 

Better plastic requires a better 3D printer, and we make every kit on an industrial machine from Fusion3 Design. It’s the size of a refrigerator and cost more than our race car, but the results are worth it.

What’s Included:

• Four universal vehicle hooks to hang the alignment tool from your car.

• Eight connection blocks to connect the alignment pipes.

• Six tubing pads to protect your paint.

• 20 thumb screws to secure your tubing.

• Complete instructions explaining how to measure your car's alignment. 

• Two Caliper Garage Stickers

What Else is Required to Measure Toe and Thrust Angle:

• Tubing with an outer diameter up to 3/4” (1/2” EMT conduit works well, and we recommend three eight-foot pieces).

• Alignment String (you’ll need two 20’ pieces).

• Two plumb bobs to keep the string taught.

• An accurate ruler.

We also offer our Deluxe String Alignment Kit, which includes everything necessary except tubing. 

Please note that you’ll still need a camber gauge to measure camber.

Like all 3D-printed parts, these kits are not perfect cosmetically. We focus on strength instead of a perfect appearance, so layer lines and minor imperfections will be visible.
