FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using these string lines?

The primary benefit is achieving highly accurate wheel alignment measurements, particularly for toe settings, by providing a consistent and parallel reference line.

Do I need any special tools to set up the B-G Racing String Lines?

No, the kit is designed for straightforward setup with included components. Basic hand strength is needed to tension strings and mount frames.

Can this kit be used on any vehicle?

The kit is designed for universal fitment, intended for most passenger cars and light trucks. Some larger vehicles or those with unique suspension designs might require adaptation.

How do I ensure the strings are correctly tensioned?

The strings should be tensioned firmly enough to be straight and not sag, but not so tight that they distort the frame or mounting points. Consistent tension is key.

What is the difference between this and laser alignment systems?

String line systems are a more basic, manual method that relies on precise measurement between strings and wheels. Laser systems use electronic sensors for automated readings. String lines are often more affordable and require no power.

How often should I check my alignment?

Alignment should be checked after significant suspension work, hitting road debris, or if you notice uneven tire wear or pulling to one side. Regular checks, especially for performance vehicles, are recommended.

What are the components included in the kit?

The kit includes front/rear adjustable frames, hooking arms, string bars, and strings.

Troubleshooting

Strings are not parallel to vehicle centerline.

Adjust the position of the front and rear frames. Ensure the hooking arms are securely attached and the frames are level.

Difficulty mounting frames to vehicle.

Review the vehicle's suspension geometry. Utilize alternative mounting points if necessary or consider using additional support if the standard hooking arms are not sufficient.

Inconsistent measurements.

Ensure strings are adequately tensioned and free from slack. Verify that frames have not shifted during measurement. Check for any obstructions or tire deformation.

Hooking arms do not fit securely.

Try different mounting points on the suspension or frame. Ensure the arms are clean and free of debris that might prevent a solid grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances accuracy in wheel alignment procedures.
  • Universal fitment simplifies use across different vehicles.
  • Adjustable framework provides a stable and customizable setup.
  • Includes all necessary components for immediate use.
  • Hooking arms ensure straightforward mounting.

Cons

  • Requires some user knowledge for optimal setup on all vehicle types.
  • String tension can be sensitive and may require practice for consistency.
  • Not ideal for extremely low vehicles without additional consideration for frame clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the front and rear adjustable frames to the vehicle, typically utilizing the wheels or suspension components.
  2. Attach the hooking arms to the frames to secure them in place.
  3. Install the string bars onto the frames.
  4. Thread the provided strings through the string bars, ensuring they are kept parallel to the vehicle's centerline and are tensioned appropriately.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for universal fitment and should be compatible with most passenger cars and light trucks. However, the effectiveness of the setup may vary depending on the vehicle's suspension design and wheel size. Always ensure the frames are securely mounted before proceeding with measurements.

Care:

  • After use, clean the frames, arms, and bars with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Store the components in a dry place to prevent rust or damage.
  • Inspect strings for wear or fraying before each use and replace if necessary.
