    basically you just find some way to measure the distance between the fronts of the two tires, and the backs of the two tires. When I helped adjust my toe-in we just used some plates that went against the outside of the tire and had slots cut in it for a tape measure blade to go through it. I don't remember what the measurements were, but if you have no toe-in in front of the tire would measure like 60" and behind would measure the same 60". then you just turn the adjusters so that the tires have like 1/16" toe in and you should be good. I think that is all we set mine for, and it hasn't giving me an ounce of trouble. We also set my camber, but you need a fancy tool for that, and then camber/caster plates so you can even adjust it.

    if its $60, just do it. that is a good deal. Most places charge around $100 because they still check your thrust angle and BS like that with the laser guided super duper alignment gizmos.
