4th Gen Alignment DIY? My 93 needs one. I understand I need this tool to properly do a front end alignment. Ive noticed my front tires are wearing on the outer edge. The steering wheel is a bit sloppy, almost 1/2 to 1 inch of play as well so any minute turn leads me to correcting. Otherwise on flat surfaces it drives straight. Konis on lower perch, new tie rods, rack and Pinion, 275/40r17s, and a 35mm solid is what's all been done.
Any vids or tutorials I could watch? I have access to an alignment rack at work, but I would like to try and get some info beforehand. I've read through threads and based on outer edge wear, one person recommended Toe it out .05 more than spec. Sound good?

Yes, twitchy. When I got the new tie rods, I counted the rotations on the removal and reversed on the install. I'll check for toe in. Watched a couple videos, I think I can do that this weekend. Jusy the outer 1/2" is wearing fast.
You need to check the new tie rod end compared to the old one. I tried marking the threads but the length was different between them and threw me off. I was off by 1/2 inch.
