Front end alignment at home
I have this Longacre setup. It works good. It needs bungees to hold it against the rim cause you tend to bump it working on a garage floor making adjustments. The rim clamps are aluminum so we put tape to protect a painted rim. You can buy plastic coated clamps.
I start out the alignment like in the picture below and bring the rear adjuster out for desired camber you want. That will give you max caster for that side. Then do the same for the other side.
Note the smaller positive caster measurement between the two sides. Now, lower the higher caster side to match the lower side. You will need to bring the front cam adjuster inward to maintain your desired camber number. This probably will take some going back and forth to hit your target caster and camber numbers.
