front wheel alignment (toe in) made easy

Previously a mystery, I read on the Townsend site info about front end alighnment and was surprised to discover it's relative simplicity. Alignment is based on there being a 2 milimeter difference between the measurements of the front and rear rim edges, the front being the smaller number. Another way to explain it would be: the inner edge of each front rim should be 1 milimeter turned in toward the center line of the car. Since there's no technical center line, the measurements are therefore done between the front and back edges of both wheel rims. This usually requires special tools (extended adjustable tube bracing with a measurement scale) since there's no way to conveniently measure between each rim edge while the full weight of the car sits on the suspension.
