    Its tough to get the wheel sitting perfectly straight without an alightment rack, but you should be able to correct the pull.

    Search the internet for instructions on how to set your toe at home. The method with the strings and jack stands is a pain in the ass.... look for the version involving pins and a tape measure. That’s how I fixed the alignment on my car after installing the RX7 ball joints (widened the track... totally screwed up my alignment). It's pretty much dead on now, when I got my emissions done they did a free alignment check. Aim for 0 toe but err on the side of slight toe in.

      Try your local tech college (if they have an Auto Technology Program). We are usually looking for cars to do alignments on. You might have to pay a small fee (we charge $30)
