find a shop you trust, good luck with that.

i had my blaze in 4 times for alignments this year all trying to get my steering wheel straight & every moving piece of my steering system is brand spankin new. none of them could get it straight.

i ended up taking 4 spray paint cans two, two foot pieces of steel and a tape measure, & did my own toe in.

I set it to 1/16 toe in and honestly my steering wheel has never been more straight and my blazer has never driven so well.

set two cans on the outside of each tire. rest a piece of steel on the can lids flush against the sidewall and measure the distances front and back between the two pieces of steel. adjust as necessary.


EDIT: I thought i had some picture on how to set this up, but cant seem to find them.
