DIY Alignment

[Uncle Buck]

I don't endorse doing your own alignment without eventually bringing it to a proper shop but I found this easy to read article for getting it close without specialty tools. It also has a link to useful spreadsheet to calculate values for your application. I think this is handy if you've wrenched on your steering and suspension extensively and want to drive the car to the alignment shop safely and with confidence you're not taking 20k of tire wear off on the trip. Unfortunately it does not cover caster.

For what it's worth here you go:

That's how we do it at the track when needed!
