The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Simple to make and use Toe-In gauge

A very neat idea and tool you created. A couple of questions.
First to get the correct measurement for toe in, doesn't the gauge need to be at the center of the wheel at the height of the king pin for each measurement front and back?
Second, would you need to make more than one measurement check? As you adjust the tie rod you are changing the measured dimension at the front as well as the back of the wheels.
