Wheel alignments ensure that all four wheels are consistent with each other and are optimized for maximum contact with the surface of the road. The way a wheel is oriented in the car is broken down to three major components; camber, caster, and toe.

How do you adjust a vehicle tracking?
That depends on weather you need to adjust the camber, caster, or toe... The toe is the easiest to adjust that is done by screwing the tie rod ends in or out depending on what you need.. Camber and caster is much more difficult but that is done by adding shims to the upper control arm.. But I would recommend taking your car to the shop for an alignment that should cost between $50 to $100 to make sure all is done right..
How do you do a wheel alignment on a 2000 Accord?
if you have the right equipment camber and caster is easy to adjust, but can be a pain to get it just right.. especially if you are doing it yourself.. (use wrenches to adjust, but location in degrees can be difficult with the small alignment tools) it will take alot of time if you do it yourself, and I would recommend taking it to a shop, and just letting them do it. front should have 2 bolts to loosen, one is lock, the other is adjustment. unloosen the lock, adjust to the desired location, then tighten the lock. the rear to my knowledge is only adjustable camber, but not caster, or caster, but not camber, or vice versa.. they make the cars to easily swap the parts out, but not to adjust. its just the stupid throw away society we live in.
