What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

Finally got the braided stainless brake hoses installed and my wife helped with bleeding the brakes, this after undergoing eye surgery this am to address issues from prior cataract replacement surgery back in January. The surgery went perfect and the front end on the ‘99 Suburban is very tight. It does need an alignment as I guess position on tie rods using a paint pen to mark the old ones and measuring against the new ones. I have an appointment for an alignment tomorrow afternoon. The front end is now tighter than it has been since I owned it.
 
A friend let me borrow his and another friend let me use his alignment rack to compare. It wasn't as accurate as his rack but pretty darn close. A lot of it is the user, it is much slower than the rack but especially for someone like me it would allow me to do it at home. Closest alignment machine to me is about 25 miles away. In fact it was the one I used.
 
There is an alignment rack over here at Tire Rama.
I always used to use TR for alignments.
Over several years I have called about getting an alignment done and their reply has been that the alignment specialist injured his hand and they dont have a technician to get the job done.
I’m thinking maybe I should go out and apply. Dont know how I would do with the condition of my feets, legs and back but I guess it wouldnt hurt to make a run at it.

They have a level 2 model which incorporates separate (from the phone) sensors in the Gyraline device which makes it more accurate than the level 1 model. Level 2 also works with Android phones, but it is priced in the $300+ range.
