How long does it take, after you align it to go back to being messed up?

 

[etc]

That'd be your camber, not your toe. Balljoints maybe? I'm not familiar with the first gen suspension.

are the cambers or ball joints expensive to replace?..

able to be done at home?

The chamber gauges used in the 1st gen suspension are non-adjustable and have to be replaced in order to fix that problem. I would not try it at home being that you need an alignment machine to get it right. They are about 100 bucks a side for new gauges.

Ball joints and worn camber bushings would be my guess. Probably cost a couple hundred if you have a shop do everything.

yes, after my fun at Rausch, I had some nice toeing out going on... had to replace a ball joint and need to schedule some spindles to be shipped/replaced via Draper Garage.
I havent forgot, work is just killing me. Sometime in March I anticipate, maybe after my business trips to Ohio, and to California.

Brian unless you had your balljoint previously replaced, I say they were due. Those OE are terrible thats why I replaced mine to a set of Moog greasables.
