Home alignment

Is there any good book on doing your own wheel alignment. I did the search and found numerous posts on home made measuring devices but no discussion of the way the adjusters work or interact?

Home-alignment for Camber and Toe is very easy, Caster can be left alone.

You'll need a camber-gauge (or make one from a carpenter level) and 2 jack stands with a string inbetween to set toe.

Firts, decide on the height you want, then decide on what Camber and Toe you want, then do the alignment.

What do you mean by "adjusters"?

Kent,

Ray Scruggs sells a booklet called Home alignment for your P-car. Tells you the whole story. I think it is inthe $10-20 range.
