I found a write up on google today of how to do it yourself and me being me thought “I should just do it myself”, and I have in the past with other cars. The problem is I would always second guess if I had really got it correct.

Great YouTube by World Member (forgot who to credit - someone help me out)

-- use online alignment sheet he posted - Great Stuff!

The problem you're going to run into is unless you can find an old timer that really knows his stuff you're likely going to end up with a "tech" that is going to blindly go by the numbers, tell you they don't have some special tool BS, or jack it up where the car goes straight fine but the steering wheel is off center by 15 degrees while they claim it's straight enough.

Hb is close enough to me. I dont mind paying someone who has the knowledge to do it right. I just want it adjusted correctly. And my wheel had better be straight.
