Results just as good, sometimes better than a shop. Just take your time.
You can get a caliper for under $20: http://amzn.to/1ow1nXd
~~~CAMBER~~~~~
CAMBER not discussed in this video but is easily checked
First thing I would check is worn out ball joints. This will affect camber, which I don't discuss in the video. This is how straight up and down each tire is relative to the ground. This will cause inside/outside tire wear. You can check this pretty easily.
Park on perfectly level ground (you can pull one tire onto shims/blocks to achieve this). Check with carpenters level.
Take a straight edge off the rim from the bottom to the top(standing up) and measure how level it is.
You want to have a 0.5 1° of negative camber(tire top towards car center).

This is more easily done with a digital angle gauge like these: http://amzn.to/1ow23vN'>http://amzn.to/1ow23vN . But you can see severe out of tolerance with a simple carpenters level and generally get it very close.

NOT ALL VEHICLES have adjustable camber. Some you have to buy special eccentric bolts/cams, some have simple slots you loosen bolts and move the upper control arm in/out, and some have a strut you can rotate to achieve a slight change. Angle Gauge: http://amzn.to/1ow23vN'>http://amzn.to/1ow23vN
