well there should be markings on the swining arm but there not that accurate.

My usual thing is on a pull type adjuster get a ruler and measure the thread visible on the adjuster bolt, or on a push type adjuster measure the siwinging arm visible from the spindal spacer (like on r1's) to the end of the swining arm.

Think cg's use a adjuster that is cut via a square whole in the swinging arm?? is so just try and measure it from the same 2 points either side.

do you have a long spirit level or piece of wood (that you know is dead straight). put it along the wheels and adjust accordingly, this is how our MOT place checks them.

use the notches on the swingarm, theyre accurate to the spindle, so the only way your wheel will be out of line is if its buckled, in which case no ammount of waving spirit levels around will make it straight.
