Well the rear was straight so what you do is get the front aligned to your toe specs that you want. And then drive the car. If it pulls to the right you want to point the tires the opposite way. I got my steering wheel centered every time.

You also want to write down how many times you turned the adjustment threads. Like I wrote down: turned clockwise one time driver's side and counterclockwise two times passenger side.

hey mike, do you know a DIY way to get accurate camber measurements? I might have to cheap out of a camber kit again this season... so looks like I'll be doing the lower-till-the-camber's-right, fix-the-toe thing again.
