I personally use a 4' level against the rear fender and measure to the center cap of each wheel and adjust accordingly. The level allows you to make sure it is straight up and down rather then using a yard stick or something similar.
Another trick that can be used is spraying some water on the pavement and driving your car straight through and looking to see how the rear tires follow the front tires. You want your track to be the same and the rear tires to follow the same line as the front.
Hope that helps,

Other than an alignemnt machine, this is about the best way to meet that goal.
Otherwise the car will be "crabbing" slightly similar to what you see NASCAR cars doing. Crabbing makes the car a turning beast ... in one direction. Not so much in the other.
