If you were near Baton Rouge, I guarantee I can get you straight using a string, and a measuring tape.

Thats how i square my race cars. Works every time on it. I use a bubble caster camber gauge that magnatizes to the wheel.

Find you an older mechanic that knows front geometry.
Problem is, these younger mechanics rely on the new fancy machines with disco lights and really do not understand what they are doing or what/why the "machine" is telling them to do.
It is not rocket science, but will easily confuse most that have little experience.
The reason for finding an older mechanic is because they learned alignment geometry using the old heads that utilized guages and bubbles.

Good luck, and stay away from Chain Tire stores.
"Mechanics" are a dying breed!

Thats what I meant when I told him to take it to the frame shop. Guy's my truck does not wear tires and it's been right about 2 years!
Funny thing about advice take it or leave it!
