Really not a DIY job. Most dealerships use laser guided equipment which is much more precise than what you'll achieve DIYing it.
You'd have to figure out what size socket and wrench you'll need for the bolts which hold the clamps at the end of the tie rod. You'll need that size socket and wrench... you might need to use an impact to get the nut off the bolt.
You'll need a jack and jackstands, as well as something to chockk your rear wheels with.
You'll need a pipe wrench, to turn the tie rod.
The one you probably won't have - you need an alignment bar.
Chock the rear wheels, raise the front end, put the front end on jackstands. Mark a spot in the center of each tire. Ensure the wheels are oriented straight. On the end of the alignment bar with the measurements, ensure that it's at zero. Put the alignment bar behind the tires, and rotate the tires around so the marks face the alignment bar. Line up the side with the measurements first to the mark on the tire (keeping it at zero), then do the other side... the side without the measurement, you slide the indicator until it lines up. Then you do the same at the front of the tire, except the side with the measurement is the one you move. At that point, the measurement bar tells you if you have toe in or toe out, and how much. On the tractor-trailers I work on, we aim for 1/16" toe in... not sure what the specs for your car will be. You rotate the tie rod as needed to adjust your toe out or in... normally, rotating towards the back of the car increases toe out and vice versa. And you use the pipe wrench to turn the tie rod.
That's how you adjust the toe, and, if you don't own those tools already, it'll be considerably cheaper to have a shop do it.
As for camber and caster, those are much more complicated, and a lot more difficult to explain.
Take the vehicle yourself to an alignment shop and let them do it.
Probably you need to align the tires.
do I have to have two of the same front tires to align it?
At least every 30,000 miles. If you let go of the wheel and your car veeres right or left. If you drive and your car and your steering wheel shakes, its not an alignment you need, you need your tires balanced
you do not have to align your vehicle to balance the tires BUT a balanced tire will still wear if the alignment is not correct
Good idea TO DO SO

All car washes will include cleaning tires. To do this yourself, you'll need at least a bucket of warm soapy water and a sponge, but a hose would be much better.
the same way you align rear tires to a 1999 mustang un screw all the bolts that is connected to the vehicle and then add in the tire then screw it together an done !!!
If the alignment is good and the front end parts are not worn (some people will align the front end with worn parts) it only leaves the tires. Rotate the two front tires and if they are bad you will notice the difference right away
You would have to take all your tires off and put the car on car jacks. You will have to take the old tires with you to have the new tires you purchase put on the old rims. There is going to probably be a cost involved in taking the old tires off and putting the new ones on. You cannot change the tires to your old rims yourself without a special piece of equipment. You will also have to pay to get rid of your old tires.
There are many chemicals that can damage a car's tires including bleach. Many acids will also damage a car's tires.
