[DeTomaso] Alignment help

[Doug Braun]

Sean,

	To Adjust toe, you loosen the jamb nut that's located at the outer end of
the tie rod shaft right next to the outer tie rod joint.  The shaft is then
free to spin because of the ball type joint at it's other end in the
steering rack.  Once the jamb nut is loose, turn the shaft to lengthen or
shorten it, then tighten the jamb nut again.

I lowered my car a bit and my front wheels are now wonky.  I am willing to
attempt the string and measure alignment process to get it in the ballpark.
How do I actually adjust the toe?  Do I have to jack up the car and pop out
the tierod ends and turn the ends in/out?  How many turns equals a degree of
toe change?  Looks like I will have to jack the car up and down multiple
times?
Thanks for the help!!!
