I'm not sure that it would be possible to take that measurement in a meaningful way - the steering moves. Even if it were it would be of extremely limited use - if any at all. If the frame were twisted it would be quite possible to put the steering in a position such that consistent measurements could be taken and would thus be useless.
If there is a concern over the frame's alignment, and unless the misalignment is large enough to be seen by eye, then measurements of any use can only be gained by someone suitably equipped with the necessary jigs.
