JP Nice to be back on topic.

Wayne,
An alignment can be done at home with a plumb bob, a piece of string, and a measuring tape, as accurately or more so than a "professional" one. With the simple instructions printed in some already published books it can be done by almost anyone that made the 8th grade. Its a pain to do that way, but very educational, and rewarding. In fact if you are into track stuff a lot it would be extreemly useful to do it at least once, really helps you understand your car.

Not Dilavar, but steel ones. Yes, that is the bad $5 ring compressor. How do you think I figured out it was bad? See the photo of the broken ring in the engine book...
