With my mud tires. I was able to use a small screw in the tread of each tire. Ran a tape measure across front and back.
I did not notice any difference 1/8-1/16-0

well i finally did is guys. I bought a 14 inch pipe wrench. and pushed with my foot. It worked. Drenched in PB blaster she turned.. My left tire was one inch toe out. So I brought back to specs. I went and re adjusted the drag link too. That was a piece of cake.

While I was under there I ripped that stupid plastic splash shield off.

Pffff. I can't believe a garage would charge that much for alignment.

Issue is it that's t least an hour to do a proper alignment not to mention the price of the hoist and alignment equipment, and to be honest with some alignments I've done they should cost double. Dam kids and they nip Asian lowered cars
