Alignment spec after Suspension work....

My alignment warranty was over last week. $50 or $60 and I only got a 30 day warranty from townfairetire. What a ripoff and the car still pulled slightly to the right. (yes I did bring it back to them but got the same results) Anyways Im replacing my driver side axle and kyb gr-2's and progress springs. I don't want to dish out another $60 when I just got one a month ago and the warranty is over. I want to get the alignment as close as I can after I replace the axle, strut, and spring. I know the best thing to do is get another alignment but what should I mark up, push, pull, turn, etc to get it close to specs so that I can at least drive it for a little bit. Eventually i'll get the lifetime alignment from firestone but I don't have the $140 to shell out for that yet. All comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

I always get the person doing the alignment to drive the car first. That way I dont have to try to describe the problem.

There's nothing to push, pull, mark or turn. Just put it together and make an appointment to have the alignment set. It woun't be that far off that you'll have any drivability issues.
