Wheel alignment help

Yesterday I switched out my power steering rack with a manual one. I was trying to find a way to do my own alignment as a temporary fix until i get some $$ for a real one. However I have not been able to find instructions online. I know they exist, do any of you guys have a link or anything? The car looks like it has positive camber now.

I just downloaded the manual rack PDF files from www.iluvmyrx7.com

I'm looking at that info and I'll check all that info.

thanks, Zeff

A steering rack change will have no effect on caster or camber. It will only affect toe. Specs on a 7 are 0 +- .12 inches. You can do toe with a tape measure.

from looking at the car it originally appeared to have + camber, but now after a couple days the camber seems ok, but I measured the toe and it is WAY out of wack. It is really eating up my tires, there's a possiblility of some new springs for my car so I'll wait on the alignment till I see what happens with the springs.
