Since its Sunday and I have the time, just want to get my 2 fronts realigned as my wheel isnt perfectly dead center when i go straight.
Minor stuff, If I cant find anyone ill just get Urban X to do it next week, thanks.

You do know it has to go on an alignment rack right? :facepalm:

Can be done with steel plates, string, and a tape measure.

No it doesn't :facepalm:
Longacre digital caster/camber gauge + toe plates = just as good as most alignment racks (since both depend on the operator's skill)
I usually do my own alignments w/o problems. Last time I got lazy and had Harper's Tire align my z06 - walked all over the road and the steering wheel was cocked 40* off centre when I got it back. Yaaay alignment rack :rolleyes:

How does that work for thrust angles?

It can't. But... you can set the toe, and take it for a drive. If it's off, you can adjust both sides very carefully the same direction to center the wheel. It would not change the overall toe.
