Caster/Camber Gauge for Racers (and guys who hit curbs too often)
-public service announcement-
I didn't realize until now that real racing caster/camber gauges were so reasonable - $99 ? That's about what it costs for two alignments at the tire shop down the street. I'm not affiliated with the seller, but thought I would pass on the info to you guys in case it would save you time/hassle/money getting a shop to do it every time. You might even be able to charge your buddies to set up their cars and offset the cost. Longacre Caster Camber Gauge with case - Truechoice Motorsports And if you already knew these existed this cheap, just ignore this. EDIT: In the fine print it appears that you would need the one with the universal magnetic adapter at $140. http://www.truechoice.com/prodinfo.a...er=LON%2078260 My mistake... |
I use a $20 digital level.

While that could be a tool for general refrence, exactness in the field with that tool will be impossible. major changes would work out , but minute adjustments would be impossible.
Aditionally , having to use the magnet to attach, will requre steel to attach to, Many alum rims will not carry this too, thus requiring removal of wheel to attach to hub / brake rotor. Just my few cents. |

The caveat is that the car must be level left to right. I used a stack of vinyl tiles under the tires, leveled with the same digital angle gauge and a long 2x4. Toe is a much bigger PITA. You can use string and a caliper, but to get the correct reading you need to know the track width difference of front vs. rear. |
Nice, I must try this.
