TrackAce Laser Wheel Alignment Gauge is the worlds first auto calibrating, laser accurate tracking gauge. Designed for home use and simple storage. Accurate to 1' (0.0166 degree). It gives fast, very accurate readings on the state of your tracking (front…

I've got one of these; really nice well put together product!
I was under the impression (or from what others have said) that the Gunson's TrackRite is useless if your tyres are worn unevenly (in a number of cases, basically if you do not have brand new tyres). Any idea about this chaps?
I too am looking into a tracking device of sorts, instead of string and stands....

Back in the day, the dealership I did my apprenticeship in had a professional set of "Slip gauges" like these DIY ones,
They work well by reading the rolling forces of each wheel but can give false readings if not used correctly, I have no knowledge of these Gunson ones but with the equipment I used years ago you had to roll the vehicle on to them as opposed to driving it on to the gauge, this would also avoid any adverse reaction from the brakes which could affect the reading. After adjustment it was necessary to roll the vehicle and back off and on again to recheck.
Regards worn tyres, I can't see that being an issue. the best thing about this method of tracking is it compensates for any slight wear in steering joints.

I was quite surprised on a recent visit to ProDrive (a very hightech motorsport production facility for those who dont know) to see the mechanics setting-up a mini, WRC1, a current rally championship running car by just this method.
