sure you can string it if you know what you are doing and have a nice level place and all the tools… but to pay somebody to do this for you will cost more than taking it to a shop. ---

not looking for free, just in home. obviously willing to pay for someones time. Estorvito - thats kinda the point…looking for someone to get it close enough to be able to drive it…at which point i’d get a true alignment if i can find somewhere that i can get on the rack.
