Have the camber checked first, make sure the tow is not miss adjusted.

go get an aligment. there is no (accurate) way to check it yourself. don't even mess around with it. alignments are cheap and they save you alot of money in the long run.

post your specs afterwards and i'll tell you if anything is bent, and what you can do about it.

Unless your friend works at an alignment shop... no.

You cant eyeball an alignment, and anyone who says they can is an idiot.
