The Easiest and quickest way would be to take it in to get a full front end alignment. 70 bucks? Let them know you are especially interested in caster. Caster is pretty easy to explain with your tire off and looking directly from the side. You can see your lower and knuckle stud that is part of your lower and upper ball joints right? If you put a strait edge from stud to stud, the top should point slightly toward the back. Negative 5-7 degrees to be exact from an imaginary vertical line. Pointing too far forward will cause the tires and steering wheel not want to return to center and even death wobble. Pointing too far back will cause the tires and steering wheel to try and force itself back to center when making a turn. This can also cause death wobble.
Hope I answered your question.
