Anytime you adjust one angle, you're gonna have to compensate the others, if it was way out, you may have to go back to the angle you started with. By messed up the whole alignment, what happened? pulling? remember when aligning these trucks, after you set the toe, you then correct the steering wheel being center, so if the wheel is just off center, its no big deal, you just adjust the drag link, the one that goes from the pitman arm to the center link or tie rod, what ever you wish to call it.

like cletus said, you move one thing and it all the other angles change and really the only way to make it right is to get it on an alignment rack. however I have adjusted toe on my 88 before using a tape measure and a few pieces of angle bungee'd onto the tires after installing a new steering linkage, but it also took me more than an hour (and i used to work on an alignment rack)
