How do you adjust thrust angle or get an alignment?

As for the previous comments about one engine on, one off, do note, 99.9% of transmissions are only lubricated properly when: Automatics have the pump running IE torque converter spinning meaning engine running. Manuals have the counter-shaft or FWD the input shaft spinning. So unless with a manual, you leave it in a gear, and your foot holding the clutch, anytime the car is moving with the engine off, you will prematurely wear your transmission out. Thus why there is in your owners manual an allowed distance you can tow with the drive wheels on the ground, and that it is NOT recommended. (Credibility? I am a ASE certified master technician, AND work at the Aisin Warner tech center doing......durability testing) FYI the largest producer of automatic transmissions in the world.
Dont know how Ill do a alignment at this time.....

As for the trans engine on and off that was a few members Not my plans.
But the towing says tow from front or back or all four with no distance mention
But good info thanks
Will update pics of the rear area soon this week.
