This is how you can do your own Front Toe Wheel Alignment on any car using 2 tape measures, a straight edge, a couple of wrenches, patience and time. Sorry for making the video so long, I tend to ramble a bit.

@igottagetmycam I found and read some of the thread. Good install! Nice looking car! A good alignment certainly makes a big difference. Maybe link my video in the thread so others can see it in case they want to do the same as you. I also have much to learn. I'm more of a weekend mechanic. Keep me posted!

@deadgodanubis your steps definately work. I did the same to the back. I'm just waiting for the car to settle after jacking to post finish ride height pics in that forum thread. I need to tweek the drivers side some more as its still slightly out. I think after driving a bit, rechecking alignments a good idea. Thanks for the car compliment, wouldn't believe i got it for $500 and have about $1200 into it. Anyway your the Man for helping me and others out!

TY

@igottagetmycam That's one thing I forgot to mention is letting the car settle back after adjusting it. Keep tweeking it and you'll eventually get it where you want it. Never pay for this service again. $500 for it is a good deal I think. They are fun cars to drive. I've always been a fan of similar cars like the Fiero and the Toyota MR2. Compact, small and fun. Pass on the tip to anyone who might need it. Thanks for the comments, I'm very happy it helped you and others!

@kev12quebec Thanks. I'm happy you liked it. I was afraid I made it too long. Pass on the tip to anyone you know who needs it. Thanks for the comment!

Dude cool vid TYVM for making it!! I just installed lowering ball joints on a 86 Fiero and the alignments all out of whack! It was before the new lowring ball joints. I also installed adjustable upper ball joints. Also my steering was crooked before the upgrades. I'm gonna try this and see how it turns out!!

TYVM for taking the time to make this vid!!

@igottagetmycam I'm happy you liked the video. Try it out and let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!

[igottagetmycam]

@deadgodanubis Lol After I watched your vid I went out and centered the steering wheel. Now the drivers side looks much better! Just have a do your steps and get the alignment right. Then I can adjust camber! I'd send you a link but youtube wont let me. Try a google search?

You can see the car there! We own two. I have much to learn, I will be the first to admit.

Very nice video ! A++++

@igottagetmycam Ooh, Fieros are fun cars. My friend had one and it was fun to drive before he sold it. Sometimes when you change suspension parts the alignment gets changed, but it sounds like you had a bad one before changing any parts. I would center the steering wheel first, then see which way I would adjust both wheels so that they're parallel and the steering wheel is centered. But as long as wheels are parallel, steering wheel position is not really important, just annoying
