I would use this with another word of caution. A degree of camber or less outside of specification and 1/16" toe in or toe out can all cause considerable tire wear. I have used the string method but only to align the wheels close enough to drive to a proper alignment shop. The theory on this method works but there are so many variables that can cause error.
