I've refined my methodology a bit since then, but that will work and get you in the ball park.

Your tie rod or something more important is probably bent. These things vary from car to car, ride height to ride height, and for all the other alignment settings. There's no official amount. That's why alignment shops use precision equipment to set it.

If it changed, it's because something is bent or something moved.
