Need info about aligning car after k-member install
I'm installing a BMR k-member and Madman manual rack this week. I need to know how to align the car well enough to get it to a real shop. Any tips? Thanks!

The toe should be faiurly easy to set up enough to get to an alignment shop. Just point the steering wheel straight ahead and measure the distance between the front and rear edge of the tires, they should be about equal. It will be hard to set it exactly but close enough to get to a shop without ending up in the ditch or tearing your tires up. As far as the caster/camber you will have to see if you can see the marks left by the old a arms and see if you can get the new parts/adjusters close to where they are. Getting the toe close is the most important though.

You can get pretty close on camber with a carpenters level on the side of the tires. Adjust the caster to max or where it leans good when turned.
