first tip your steering track rod ends are in the top they should come from the bottom up with the nut on top.

once that is sorted get your wheels on and sit the car on the ground. if your floor isnt level use bits of wood or what ever you have under the wheels so the car is on a level surface.

To set the camber front and back use a normal level place it from the vertically from the top of the rim to the bottom not on the tyre and get the bubble in the middle. with that done you know the camber is at 0deg on all 4 wheels. the rear caber should be set at 0 so thats already donein the last step.

on the front wind the top ball joints in by about 2mm from what they were at 0 deg that should give you about 1-1.5 deg negative camber. (it did on mine)

for the front toe set the wheels straight then turn each trackrod in by 1 turn which should give about 0.5deg toe in. any more and it wont self centre. if it doesn't self centre toe it out more.

it wont be perfect but to should be something near
