Where is this spreader bar placed on the wheels?
Looking at the tire from the side as looking at a clock
12,3,6,9?

I'm as frugal as the next guy but for $200 I'd buy one. Even at my pay rate
8 hours of fiddling with making something thats not exactly right would buy
one...
Never mind the fact that the only reason I'd buy one is to haul it to an
alignment shop that doesn't have one so they can do the job right. I can't
see them wanting to muck with something I'd invented. I also can't see my
wanting to pay for that.

I phoned Beissbarth ( the manufacturer of the spreader bar) and learned
that their price is appx. $ 199 for the spreader bar.
It has an MB number of 900 589 012700.
This may be a rather simple item to make for a fraction of the cost. I
am sure that the Beisbarth spreader has a built in
torque device pre set at 90-110 NM. However, it might also be done
with two short pieces of pipe with plates welded on the
end. The middle can be fashioned with a 18" piece of all thread and
two
nuts. You will however need a torque wrench and
a crows foot wrench to tighten the nut.
Your thoughts on the subject..
