Anyone? I'm wanting to setup my caster, camber, and toe by myself. I want to get it in the ball park. I'm sure I can get it pretty close. I at least need to do this so I can drive it to the alignment shop.

I have a very accurate digital level so I can use a bar across the wheel and set the level against it. Camber is straight forward but how do I set caster? I think I turn the wheel to a specific steering angle and then check the angle at the wheel just like with camber.

Thanks
