76 ramcharger door wont open getting better

Q: on my two pole system i put black marker on the inner in the area where the edge of the outer is. then when i manually slide it into contact with the rear side of the rims on both sides nice and straight i scribe a line at the edge of the outer tube. then repeat for the front. if you did an accurate measurement there will be two different marks indicating the amount of toe-in you have. if you need any additional description i know this might not be very clear email me and ill send a pic. ld thanks i think i understand. in the past alignments on my 88 van they only adjusted toein/toeout with linkage adjustments. i should be able to check/adjust. ive checked and set the toe-in on my 70 blazer for all the years ive owned it 27 with a tape measure and a sliding set of tubes a couple of old tent poles. something similar would work as long as you can accurately measure the distance between the same parts of the rim on the back side vs. the front side. without knowing your specs probably a 1/16 difference larger on the rear would give you all the toe-in you need. the toe-in is the spec that most frequently gets out. too much 1/4 for example will cause excessive wear on the tires outer edges too little or toe-out will cause wear on the tire inner edges and could be dangerous causing the vehicle to wander or pull from one side to the other over any little bump in the road. ld my 97 van is out of alignment again. these roads are wicked in winter and spring. the tires are wearing on the outside both sides. this happened quite often with my 88 full-sized van also. is there a quick and dirty way to get them somewhat back in alignment - im tired of having to pay yearly alignment. it doesnt have to be perfect just better than it is. any help would be appreciated. .
