I didn't bother with ratchet straps underneath the last time it was much easier that way
measure the top end first will get you back nearly right on camber

Thanks, I'll look into doing this when it comes to the time. The car has done 171k and was a farm car for a long time, which I now use it 50% on farm land so it wouldn't surprise me if multiple things need changing. I've replaced a lot of bushes already and there's the sway bars/antiroll bars that definitely need doing.
