DIY Alignment
An update- sorry I just saw these replies. As always, I'm very appreciative of all of the help and helping me understand. Also I'm sorry for thread jacking the op.
It wasn't making sense in my head when reading over everything. I'm more of a see/do, or what you could call - a visual learner.
I jacked the car up and loosened the cam bolt, then turned them and magically everything clicked. I put the rear one all the way "in" towards the frame and the front is all the way "out" towards the outer body of the car.
The car drive 100x better. I also measured and set my tie rods to 13 inches. The steering wheel is slightly off center but much better than before.
I know I dont have all the tools do do an alignment, I just wanted to fix it a little until I can get it into a shop to have a proper alignment done.
Now to rebleed my brakes, and drive it some more. For some reason my brakes have gone soft from all the jacking up and lowering the car. That little brake line gremlin... oh also to fix the way to soft rear springs on the cheap... as I keep spending all my money on guns, ammo and a puppy...
