My son works at a shop but because the alignment equipment is all computerized, he can't even "Check" my street rod to see what it is at. He knows my car as good as I do but it is the equipment and not the operator sometimes that gets in the way.
Another option and one that works very well is to get an alignment gauge from Summit. I boght the SPC Performance 91000 kit. I also bought the Toe-in kit but using a tape measure actually is much easier to use. In using the alignment gauge, I wanted to see how close it was to what an alignment shop (with older equipment) would get for me and I was SPOT ON after I had mine done.
I've adjusted mine using an article in Street Rodder magazine article
http://www.streetrodderweb.com/tech/...ent/index.html
With 1/4 degree Positive caster
1 1/2 degree negative Camber
Toe in Near zero
The car drives and handles great and normal tire wear. It takes time to do it and I always recheck it after a good test drive to make sure the other factors are not throwing off the readings.
Just thought I'd share a tip.
