If I need to measure I use a long bar thing that I picked up for £20.
Your description sounds like you have a bit of toe out so maybe adjust this slightly and go out in it.
Are you using adjustable top mounts? Are your bushes OK at the top of the struts and the top mounts OK?

cheers charlie,
all bushes are good,all ball joints are under a year old and feel ok,poly top mounts/standard style,adjustable tca's
will toe out wear outside edge of tyre?
is it worth getting a thermometer to try set it up?
just unsure whether to give more toe in or out to start with,
does 1 turn move it 1mm?

cheers craig,
ye front was well slammed(mainly due to broken springs but was low when they were fitted) and rear looked near higher than standard,looked pants!lol,but went round corners well,lol
now actually feels like ive suspension on the front,
will maybe just have to get used to it,but the tyre wear concerns me,
will give another check over for play anywhere then go for a blast
thanks guys
