Do you mean your suspension geometry is out of alignment?

The answer is yes and no. The cheapest way to align a car is the string method. But it is not as accurate as a professional alignment with the correct tools and methods. I'll look for a How To video for the string method. IMO, I would take it to a reputable shop if you feel the car pulls or if you've had it lowered or if it is eating away at your tires.

IMO just get it done at a respectable shop... its only like 50-80bucks at most shops and you know its done right!
remembers tires are alot more expensive than a alignment is!
