I know and heard you can adjust the alignment using the tie rods. Is there a write up or a quick to know information that someone can provide? I am trying to adjust my toe in on one side.

Not sure if this method is correct but i use a string to measure the two distances (front and back) between the two front wheels. If they are the same, they are pretty aligned.

Alignment is one thing that you shouldn't do unless you have a rack to measure and put it on.
You can have your 2 front wheels perfectly parallel and still be way off. Same goes for the rears. --------------------  |

actually adjusting it is not hard at all. you loosen an nut, spin it, and tighten the nut back down. but, again, make sure you're using an alignment rack so you can get accurate numbers. it needs to be adjusted to tenths of a degree, you'll never be close to that accuracy without a rack. most shops do alignments for $50-100
