If they do that with a relatively new car or one that's been recently
rebuilt, there will be too much toe and if they do it on a worn one
there won't be enough.
That's why Mercedes REQUIRES a spreader bar - so that it can be done
correctly!!!!
Seems like a REALLY poor excuse to justify not buying and using a ~$50
tool. How do they justify not using the locking/centering screw to hold
the steering box/wheel in the SINGLE correct position?
