Question DIY 2008 Fit alignment help?

Can someone give me specs and a rundown on how to set the front alignment?

Aligning isn't my specialty

I believe an alignment is not a DIY job, Take it to a professional.

camber is easy to diy... easy way is to get a digital level that reads degrees...

toe is more involved... you'll need string, jack stands, careful measuring... there are tons of how-to's on the internet... search and choose one... take your time and do it right

Toe is a pain in the ass without toe plates (expensive), might as well take it somewhere and drop $60. Like Apex said, it'll take some time to get it right with string.

Especially if the string has knots and tangles.
