Wheel Alignment help!

Well I have access to a alignment machine. I also have camber kits for the front and rear.(Ingalls in front) I was adjusting my camber and toe last night and was loosening the bolts on the strut and pulling the wheel outwards while having the bolts tightened. Is there a better and easier way to adjust the camber thats more precise? Also whats the easiest way to adjust the toe. thanks Pics would be even bigger help.

On the front, the easiest way to adjust camber (well, maybe not exactly much easier, but more accurate) is to utlize camber plates. As far as toe, all you do is take a wrench to the tie rod and turn it until you're in the green. It'll be a tight fit for hand, arm and wrench, so, best advice is to be paitent.

Well, he has access to an alignment rack, so I doubt he's gonna need to do the alignment "trackside style"

Not following ya.... The front camber bolts work by losening the second bolt and camber bolt and turning the camber bolt until you get the camber reading that you desire. As for the toe...... Start car ..Center wheel... depending on aligner, basically center wheel and adjust right and left toe untill toe comes in to spec with steeering wheel centerd. Then start car and re-center wheel to ensure toe is still right on. hope that helps

Doesn't matter if he does it on a rack or not, the tie rods and camber adjustments still get done the same way, only the gauge is different
