The fastest way I can think of is to do a burnout. In theory, if you are centered, you should have very little side travel during the burnout.

I used a straight edge, lined up with the fender lip to the ground. I then went across with a tape measure and measured both sides until it all matched up...now i have no shudder or anything when running it hard.
