how do I do a toe alignment only on my car? Any tools?
I would like to do a toe alingment on my 87 bmw. I have had some rack and pinion issues over the past 2 years and this is the 3rd rack. I would like to avoid another alingnment and figured it would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thanks

Simple set of metric tools and a pipe wrench to turn the tie rod. A tape measure for proper toe in.
