AutoSolo Camber Caster Gauge, +6 to -6 Degree Range, Magnetic Wheel Alignment Tool, Home Garage Alignment

Rebuilding front end , got front end all adjusted , great tool

The tool has a range of +/- 6 degrees. The bubble spans 1 whole degree. If you are looking for a more precise reading than maybe half-degree estimations, that may not be the tool you are looking for.I was hoping to enhance my ability to precisely dial in the settings on my vintage Porsche touring car, which is extremely sensitive to small errors in alignment, and particularly to differences side to side. This tool helps with the differences since it's easy to read in whole degrees. So long as your target settings are in whole degrees or maybe even half degrees, it will work fine for you.The tool itself is a milled aluminum block, with a 60mm graduated bubble level. The wheel end has a round magnet to attach to a steel disk or frame on your alignment wheel fixture. Compact and sturdy construction will allow survival in your track prep tool bag. You'll need a carpenters 'torpedo' bubble level to zero the tool before use but after that it's good to go.My current setup uses digital angle gauges with claimed 0.1 degree accuracy. Unfortunately, repeatability isn't there yet. I have a 24" bubble level I can clamp to the fixture, and I can use drill bit 'spacers' between the level and the fixture to get camber dialed in perfectly. It's clunky compared to this tool, and pretty tedious if I need 2 setups and readings to set caster. Which you need to do with each camber adjustment. Ok for adjustments in the workbay, not so hot for track day adjustments between HPDE sessions.

Great quality

I used it after replacing upper and lower control arms, worked great

While this definitely isn't the most accurate camber measurement tool around, I think it's pretty good at what it does; providing a very inexpensive way for a DIYer to get a rough, repeatable measurement of their camber alignment. Before you use this, you have to zero it out on a perfectly vertical surface, which you can find by using a regular bubble level. Once you start trying to adjust the camber tool's bubble to zero, you'll soon realize that it is finicky and extremely sensitive to any movement. This process took me a while, but I eventually got a feel for it. After that, you can either use one of the rather expensive wheel clamps, or simply place it against the flat surface of a hub (depending on the vehicle). How accurate are the numbers themselves? I have no way of knowing, but if used as a comparison gauge it's not terribly important. Using this tool and a pair of toe plates, I was able to take comparative before-and-after measurements on an '86 Bronco and return it to the original alignment settings after completing some suspension work. For a lot of home users, this is all you'll ever need. I believe the shown values are likely in the ballpark, but I wouldn't rely on them to be 100% accurate. That said, for the price it's fantastic and it allowed me to save big money on an alignment.

Very good product and very help

The aluminum looks well machined on this camber check tool. The bubble on the main camber indicator is very clear but the bubble on the level indicator at the end of the tool is a bit hard to see. Magnet strength at the end of the tool is perfectly strong enough for what this tool needs to do.Note that there are now cell phone alignment tools entering the market that are becoming popular but I expect it will be a while before they replace the popular toe plates and these camber gauges at track events since these are a time tested method of field aligning. Even if you use a cell phone alignment system I expect this tool will be extremely convenient in double checking the output of such a system.
