2002 Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L problems...

Q: i recently replaced upper ball joints on a 96 dodge 3500 1-ton van. this vehicle uses pressed-in ball joints and i replaced them with a standard c-frame tool. after a few months one of the ball joints backed itself out this is a poor design imo. i pressed it back in and tack-welded it in a few spots. so far its holding just fine. in order to do the weld i removed the upper a-frame. of course i didnt think to mark its position uses no shims just slotted bolt holes to adjust caster/camber until id already loosened the bolts and let things shift. id like to get the truck properly in alignment. if thats not possible at least driveably close until i buy new tires and have a shop fine-tune it. i think i can measure camber with a plumb bob and toe-ins a no-brainer but how in the devil can i measure caster also is there an online reference where i can find the alignment specs for my vehicle best regards martin .
