Porsche Tie Rod Replacement And Home DIY Alignment 

That is dumber than dumb. There is caster and zero thrust angle as a true starting point. If that is unknown, then everything else is off.

I dont like this way , to much margin for error , the string method is much much better , it drives fine but ill prob still take it in for alignment , with this car the rear could be out too

The BIG problem is finding a place where they will actually put the experienced technician on the job. I had a recommended shop do an alignment on my 911 and it was fantastic. Then I decided to take my BMW (V12 E65) to the same shop. They snapped the two upper rear arm bolts off requiring the replacement of the eccentric bolts and arms. Yes, I do blame them because I asked for the old parts back and I could remove the nuts from the broken parts after a 10-minute soak with the good stuff. Furthermore, on the lower arm they twisted the joints without attempting to free the tubes for the bolts which cracked the rubber in the bushings-- again I blame them as I managed to free the tubes later with I repaired the damage myself. To cap it off they heated the tie rods (even though I had checked they were free and lubricated them earlier) so now they are totally frozen which will require me to grind them off or replace both the inner and outside joints the next time I need to adjust them. Finally, they gave me a huge bill for the work... but I did get it discounted...maybe I was unreasonable however I expect professions to do a better job then I would. Now I purchased a DIY Gunson laser alignment tool and I have got my other cars driving perfectly using an electronic builders level for the camber, the string method for the trust angel and a stating point for toe, followed by the laser tool for the final trimming of the adjustment.
