That information and how to check it, is located in the Cessna 100 series service manual I believe

Zero camber and toe in at 2000 lbs. Heavy duty “contractor” plastic trash bags are a good substitute for greased plates has been often suggested, as the plastic slides/twists readily when the airplane is rolled onto them indicating misalignment.
