can u do tracking yourself
-
yes, with the right equipment

Yes, after fitting a track rod for instance, but not accurately enough for long term use.
The omega is adjustable for castor at the front, camber and toe front and rear.
The only acceptable option for the omega is full geometric set up. Or it will drive like a boat and destroy tyres in short order.
So do the best you can by eye as the guide, but get it set up correctly immediately after.

As Gixer says, without access to specialist equipment, its not good enough. Most tyre places don't have the required equipment either - tracking/laser tracking/4 wheel alignment is not good enough for the Omega (unlike most other cars where its almost acceptable).
The Omega needs a full geometry adjustment, and by someone who understands the car, not someone setting it back to (poor) original factory settings.
A tracking or 4 wheel alignment on it will be a waste of money I'm afraid.
