so i just lowered my ef sedan on stock struts and coils sleeves for the time being.. i have a upper "a" arm kit with the camber arms on them. the last time i changed the upper "a" arms on my previous car and "tried" adjusting the camber i ended up throwing my alignment WAYY off lol.. my tires were wearing very unevenly and it was pulling hard to one side.. So my question is.. How can i set my camber kit myself to where it will still drive decent and not pull harder to one side than the other? is there something i can measure? or anything? im very new to this camber thing. My car isnt really wearing tires bad now.. just the inner edge of my front tires and my ball joints are gone anyways.. so im just replacing upper "a" arms with new ball joints in them and puttin the camber arms on the ends on the "a" arms.. can someone plz help with how i can set the camber kit or how to do it at all..or how i can aline my front end semi? plz help if this makes any sense..

So you want to know how to do an alignment without any alignment tools?

get an alignment...?

Just take it to a shop.

Take it to a shop and have them do an alignment. Also if your car is too low, they will deny service since you can't fit the car on the rack.

BVest thing to do would be eye ball it the best you can. Then as soon as you do that take it to a shop.

That.

TRQLESS

Such a method does exist. Measure from one tread line of the drivers side tire (on the front of the tire) to a tread line of the passenger tire. Then repeat same procedure on the back side of the tire. Be sure to secure the steering wheel prior to measurement. Just be sure to measure to the correct tread line. And center the wheel, you can wrap the seat belt around the bottom of the wheel and click it into the receiver.

If your alignment is off, make necessary adjustments. This will get it closer but you still need to take it to a shop and have them align it.

This method is a way to dial in the toe as close as you can without an alignment rack.
