Geoff,
The Service Manual is a valuable tool to have in your toolbox.

This seemed easier than retyping the whole thing. Caster and Camber are set according to how the axle is designed and positioned on the springs. So, no adjustment should be needed, unless parts are out of adjustment (like wheel bearings or king pin bearings). It is also possible that something is bent or out of tolerance and consideration should be given to replace those damaged components.

The first time I did this, I used a long stick (straightedge) along the outside edge of the tires on either side. Afterwards I measured centerline on the rear and confirm on the front. Then I adjusted the tie rods. A test drive afterwards showed good tracking no noticeable pull.

Other techniques:
