How do I do a Front End Alignment myself, I have acces to a alaignment rack...

There is an Alaignment rack at school with all the necessary computers and equipment and I can perform a front end alaignment myself. The instructor said it would be no problem under one circumstance... I must know how to do it WITHOUT his help. So I'm posting, How do I perform a front end alaignment? My steeringwheel is cocked to the left when I'm going straight and the tires are wearing all over the edges rather than the center...

Your problem seems to be mostly with toe, which you don't need any special tools for. However, it's fairly difficult to explain how to set up an alignment rack. You'll need someone there who's at least got some basic experience in getting the vehicle set up. BTW, Mac tools sells the 93-02 f-body camber/caster adjustment tool for $100, or you could buy one from GM. If you know any GM techs you could probably borrow it. Or you could probably just use a couple of prybars, but it will probably be more difficult.

Be carefull the tools are also week. I have done three lowered camaro's and have broke three tools. Lowered cars make it hard.

rockauto.com has the tools too for less or you could make the tools with a turnbuckle and some sawed off hook bolts.
