Search the suspension section for alignment numbers and bring them to a dealer. They will do it for $60.

I had Champion do mine a couple months ago.

The car rides much nicer now.

I don't have a hookup but Jamail's does a perfect alignment & they can set it up to be more of a race alignment if you want.

I think you are talking about toe ... the toe is out.

If camber moves, it will affect toe.

But a decent alignment shop should know all this. Finding one is the trick. A good alignment tech is worth his weight in gold.

Not only will your car handle better, it will save you hundreds of dollars in tires.
