Hmm..maybe, but it needs to be on freely adjusting turntables to imitate a moving road condition , and should see if a certified machine gives the same settings ..around 98 most alignment went to a camera system the head that goes onto the wheel is a triangle with degrees wheel like marks ,a camera then captures how that sets and the computer gives the angles which I thought was what it was going to be

And the fun starts when you try to modify whatever you find.

Those shorter, replacement steering knuckles (another recent thread) should provide some interesting results.

Regarding the Gyraline alignment tool. Don't buy it yet if your cell phone is Android based. The Android application is weak. Gyraline do promise to improve it as I did complain about it. Gyraline made it sound like there was a much better version coming out shortly. I write this in Jan 2025.
The iPhone application is much more mature and has all the functionality. While I have not tried the iPhone version yet. I will on an older iPhone 10 I have laying around. All the YouTube videos are using the iPhone app, the Android one looks much different. It not only has extremely limited options, the interface has much to be desired in function, readability and capturing/recording findings of your alignment.
