If I could just "square up" the front end relative to the rear I could figure it out . . .
its easy. Install the bars on the front axles, with the measuring rod in one end of one block. Make sure the front "wheels" are facing straight ahead (you can turn the car on) Set the length of the rod so the end just touches the other bar in the front of the car. Pivot the bar with the rod in it to the rear and see if the rod has a gap or is touching the other bar. If it has a gap, the front wheels are toed in; if it is too long, they are toed out
I used to use the Niftech tool, but I have found it to be quicker to use a 12" caliper and just measure the track at the front and at the rear of the front wheels. Wider in back means toed in, wider in front means toed out.
