Gyraline alignment tool for Phone, anyone try it?

For $80, was thinking about checking it out. Seams to have decent reviews that it really works but you know what those are worth.

Thoughts? Gimick?

I have it, they are local to me. I'm very happy with it, the software seems to work better than I expected. Like, how it measures toe is intriguing to me.

They are actually revising the design and sending me a new version over the weekend, because my road wheels have raised lumps on that their v1 tool wouldn't clear. So by Monday I should give you a better answer.

Thats awesome to hear... all too many times these things pop in facebook feeds and are complete garbage. Its nice to see this one may actually have some utility and for the price of < one alignment it seems like a good investment when we have 4 cars at the house.

I’m not sure what an alignment costs these days but just in time I’ve never regretted building up my own set of tools like a long acre toe gauge and tenhulzen camber/caster gauge. I’ve played with many different alignment setups getting my car to work well. For example, I run 10° caster without p/s and prefer it that way.

The new device will (I hope) allow for much faster spot checks though. I’m looking forward to comparing the results

I just had a 4 wheel alignment check and adjustment, $150. No way would I do this myself, I can't afford a computer alignment rack that shows all 4 wheels on the printout.

Totally get that, I was wondering how much it was. As with many things we do, it's not purely financial, but learning how things work. Otherwise, everything would be bought not built ;)
