Default adjusting camber/toe

my front left tire has -1 degree camber, and my front right has -2.4.. ill fix that with eyeballing it and my skunk2 camber kit.. but im worried about toe, which is on both front tires, -1 degree.. it's supposed to be within .08 degrees i believe, so i know i have to screw in the tie rod a little bit, but i dont know how many threads???? both sides are about equal right now, does anyone know the ratio btw threads and degree of angle for the tie rod and toe adjustment??? thanks

Try the string method it's not an exact science but it will get it close. Make sure the steering wheel is straight. Get a long piece of string, tape it to the back tire and pull it forward to the front tire. You want the string to touch the front and back of the front tire, if it touches the front of the tire first then uncrew the tie rod end to bring the wheel in slightly until the string touches both ends of the tire. If the string touches the back of the tire first then do the opposite. Then do the same for the other side making sure the steering wheel stays straight the whole time. Yeah I know it sounds ghetto but it's worked for me in the past and saved me one time when I curbed my car in texas when I was visiting and had to get back to florida where I live. It's still no substitute for a real alignment I want to be clear on that but it will work.
