Question Alignment help
Hey guys,

Anyone out there know the procedure for setting the camber on my 1986 B2? The toe is easy enough, but I need to set the camber first. I wanted to take it to an alignment shop, but the funds aren't there right now. So I'm opting for a home touch-up so I'm not eating my snow tires up. I've done alignments before, but it's easy to do when you have the use of an alignment rack, lol.

Any help will be appreciated.

The only way to set camber and caster is with a camber-caster gauge. A decent one, even on eBay, will cost more than a trip to the alignment shop.
