Surf-
You will have to find someone to do this one, but I surprised myself on my VW Rabbit last summer by getting the toe-in right all by myself. I bought a pair of laser levels from Harbor Freight for $5 each, attached them to the sides of the wheels, shot the beams in front 15 feet, then rolled the car so the beams shot back 15 feet. Set it a little in. Seemed to drive right.
Then I got a little nervous , chickened out and found a pro to do it in Sanford ( a good guy who does nothing but alignments). He said I was almost right on ( and knocked off $10 from his fee).
But that's just toe (all a VW has, well, camber too, but it was OK). MB has caster.
