So went and got new tires on my ride and went to get an ailment done, almost all places looked perplexed that there computers did not go that far back on what needed to be done. So found this shop that said they could do it but all they could do was adjust the tow angle, not sure if I recall correctly, so is there anything that needs to be adjusted besides that?

The caster and camber is adjusted by turning an etcentric in the uppper outer pivot pin. An older Mercedes us the same method.
The simple instructions are shown in the shop manual.
Take a sop manual along for their instructions.

So I started searching again on yelp for ailments now that I have more information, thanks to you all, so called the first shop after reading some reviews and explained what kind of car and what I had been told before and right away, after a little chuckle, he said not only the toe in but also the camber and caster. Again thanks for the info, I would of not been aware of what else besides the toe in.
