I am hoping someone can advise me of ... the two points/places between which the measurements are made to give the following "openings"?
Thanks for your interest... "Fender Opening (Pin height)" in mm. "Fender Opening (kerb height)" in mm.

Fender opening is the wheel arch.
Pin would be the lower balljoint...So it's from the base of the lower balljoint to the base of the wheel arch Kerb height would be from the ground to the base of the wheel arch....make sure you're on level ground for these measurements...

dunno how to help with that but the best wheel alignment I have ever had was done by an old bloke around 20 years ago with a stringline.all this digital crap I have had and my car has not had the same results.i suppose it just goes to show a man with knowledge and experience can do a better job than a 19 year old punk with lasers.
ohh and before you ask yes I still have the same car. |
