you can get the stuff that mounts on your cars wheel or you can do the old chalk line thing. do a google on it and its not that bad if your not lookin for exact alignment. some ppl do this kind of thing at the track.

Don't even bother, you'll just make it worse.

It was pretty bad, I'm just going to trial and error for a few hours tommorow and see what happens. I did some today and it's a little better. It was visibly very toed out so it can't get worse.

True, maybe I should try toeing it in or out as much as the adjustment will allow and see what happens. Or adjust the front and rear so I can drive down the road sideways!

wow. everyone seems so testy tonight!

The string idea sounds pretty cool. Might be worth a try.

Alignment is the only thing i haven't done myself. might be worth a shot.
