Alignment Tools |
| Whether your simply doing your own work, or trying to tune your car up for the track, our offering of special alignment tools will help you to find the absolute best setup for your 911. |

| Precision Camber Alignment Tool |
The SmartCamber tool digitally measures camber and caster quickly, easily, and repeatably. With the push of a button it automatically compensates for non-level floors so it can be used at home, at the track...even on a trailer with complete confidence. Plus, the module is removable and can be used for measuring any angles including drive shaft, wing and suspension angles, so it is really two tools in one. Accurately measures in 1/10th of a degree increments. Most effectively used with the optional Hands-Free adapter (as shown in second photo) because it allows the tool to be attached to the wheel while suspension adjustments are made - fast, accurate and super easy. Beats the heck out of using an $18,000 alignment rack!
Optional Wooden Carrying Case: Hand made lacquered birch plywood box with specially designed anchor screws to hold the tool in place. Very high quality and made in up-state New York by skilled craftsmen. |

| Laser Toe-in Alignment Plates |
| People have been asking for an affordable, yet highly accurate toe measuring tool for years. Finally, someone came up with an idea that is based on the original "toe plates" method, where two plates that lean against the tire and then, with a tape measure, toe is measured. It is a system that is better than nothing, but has real limitations. For example, body and suspension parts are always in the way making accurate measuring troublesome and inaccurate. With the new Laser Toe Plates, the same principle is applied, but an extremely precise laser beam is shot just 14mm above the ground, reflecting back to a target. With an adjusting knob, the laser is guided to the target and once hit, you simply read the dial indicator (its readings are in minutes of a degree; a handy conversion chart for minutes to decimal is included). It also tells you if you have toe-in or toe-out. Completely portable and extremely accurate. |

| Precision Ride Height Gauge |
This ride height gauge was designed to be used on a wide variety of cars, from very low super-speedway cars to sports cars to vintage cars to daily drivers. Its function is simple and straightforward and easy to use. When not in use or in transport, there is a sliding black plastic bushing that locks the arm in place, this will prevent the arm from bouncing and damaging the arm or the indicator.
Measuring Range: As delivered, the gauge will read from .75" to 3.0". With the enclosed long standoffs, the range is increased from 2.75" to 5.0". The gauge is calibrated so the initial reading you see on the dial indicator is the thickness from the bottom of the tool to the top of the sensing nut (acorn nut). It will read directly in thousands of an inch. One full revolution of the large needle equals one inch. The smaller indicator reads in full inches. The Gauge's measuring arm is a full 18" long and only .75" tall, so it can get under the lowest of cars. |

Bump Steer Correction |
| Bump Steer Steering Rack Spacers |
Is your car suffering from steering 'kick-back' that results from lowering your front suspension? The problem arises when the steering rack is lowered, changing the overall geometry of the tie rods with respect to the flat plane of the driving surface. The result is an annoying steering wheel jerk whenever you go over any bumps in the road. Weltmeister rack spacers restore your steering rack to stock geometry and solve this 'kick back' problem.

| Adjustable Bump Steer Kit |
Elephant Racing's proprietary-design Adjustable Bump Steer kit delivers true adjustability in a super strong package.
Bump steer is a change in toe setting resulting from vertical wheel displacement. A car that bump-steers requires constant adjustment at the steering wheel to maintain a steady trajectory over uneven surfaces. This can be handful to drive.
The 911/914 series has some bump steer inherent even in the stock configuration. The problem becomes more severe with lowered ride height and can be extreme with spindle height modifications.
The Adjustable Bump Steer kit allows bump steer correction by altering the angle of the tie-rods. The kit replaces the tie-rod end (turbo tie-rods only) and allows easy tuning to specific vehicle needs.- Sturdy design grips steering knuckle.
- Unique design actually grips steering knuckle for extra strength. Combined with a super strong 12mm grade 12.9 bolt, this is a sturdy solution.
- Height adjustable in 1/8" increments by positioning 3 spacers above/below steering knuckle. 1/4" - 1" allowable spacing.
- Articulates an impressive +/- 27 degrees to prevent binding at full compression and droop.
- Optional boots keep out dirt for extended life.

Tire Rub Prevention Kit |
Rubbing happens on some cars even with stock tires and the problem is especially common with oversize tires/wheels. Tire rubbing is an unsafe condition that will fail a tech inspection with many track clubs.
This kit works by adjusting the full-lock position of the steering wheel, allowing you to prevent tires from rubbing. The kit is installed between the steering rack and the tie rods, both sides. Can be used on turbo and regular tie rods. |
