buy four jackstands (you have a 914 - you'll need them sooner or later anyway) a spool of kite string, and a machinist's rule. a really level place is a big help and yes, 1/8" (the thickness of your average homestore flooring tile) is close enough to level, which is why i have that big stack of them in my garage...
most wear is due to toe, which you can measure easily enough. camber is not much harder. there's no reason to stress... |
