Alignment Instructions (95 Jimmy 4x4)
I believe my alignment is slightly off. The thread on the outside half of my front tires are almost bald, while the inside is still good, (read it's a sign of misalignment). When I'm driving on the highway, doing anywhere of 55-70 mph my truck and steering wheel shake.
I've been doing my online research and shaking is commonly caused by misaligned wheels and damaged engine mounts, but when I read about alignment for my truck, articles never show pictures of the "toe or the camber for my truck nor do they talk about the actual location of it. Videos would be perfect except they never show my year or it's a completely different model of GMC. To make things even harder, '95 is a "stand alone" year so I don't know if my suspension build is the same for '94 and back or '96 and up...
What's the proper way to align my wheels ? Both toe and camber location please ? Any special tools or technique I need ?
For anyone new to me, my truck is a '95 Jimmy SLS 2dr 4x4

There may be some shade-trees who will tell you they can align steering on their own, but since a minute amount of error will be a problem, the only way to do it correctly is to take it to a shop with an alignment rack. It will run ~$100 for a 4x4.

OK I see, alignment is a precise procedure. Does that mean it shouldn't cost more than $100 ?
