Thank you Jerry for sharing this tool with us absolutely a tool for the future for the toolbox great job as always
-
I have the same tool but under a different brand. I've used it a couple times and then I forgot bout it, till now. Have a great week!

Going to have to get one of those. Gravel roads here in Manitoba this winter just have me flinching every trip out. Kills shocks, bruises tires, knocks subframes into next week and messes up alignments. Thanks for this, probably not going to be aligning stuff myself but this can be my early warning tool. Like a dipstick for engine oil.

It´s like a pizza with EVERYTHING !! aligment, math and woodworking in a bite size class, THANKS !!
-
Thank you Jerry, I like that tool!
-
Nice job on reviewing the caster camber gauge Jerry. It looks like you have a good understanding of math too! Practical applications make math attractive to people who might otherwise shy away from it. Good job!
-
Nice demo. Never knew there was such a device.
-
Nice job buddy! I appreciate you doing the math for us. Geometry was never my strong suit in highschool.

This is great. I just bought the same item, then found your video! I put a new steering rack on my pickup, and new upper control arms with balljoints. I must've had it set okay using just a level for camber, then a 2x4 on jackstands for toe adjustment. The tires haven't worn in several months. I'm about to do lower balljoints because they have play. I'll just set it with this when I'm done. I've found that alignment shops only want to sell me suspenion work. Guys who do their own work are not a cash cow for alignment techs. Any shadetree can do a satisfactory alignment just knowing the particular vehicle specs.

Love the vids but I just eyeball my alignment and drive it to the shop about 3 miles away so they can use the laser gear,
-
Damn finally reverse tan being used properly and i forgot it since hs 😂

Cool I’ve got the non-digital budget version. Used it and it kinda tells you a ballpark figure. Problem is the fancy new cars have no adjustments.🙄. You kinda eyeball aftermarket shim things based on some magnet gizmo.🤷♂️

How much can it effect caster measurement if you don't use a slip plate when moving tires back and forth? My thought for DYI'ers if performing on garage floor, spread out a small amount of very fine sand under the tires so when you turn them back and forth to perform caster measurement, they slide on the sand with out 'sticking' to the floor.

Had a front wheel alignment done by a tire shop with an accurate precision laser machine. I checked their results with the same tool in this video. The caster measurement DOES NOT need to multiplied by 1.5 and the tool displayed the same angular measurement of 4.7 degrees!!! BTW, 1 degree = 60' = 3600".

Elementary, My dear Watson 😮

Good day, Great brief Vid. and purchased the tool. Just did not understand "zero the guage in relation to the video" as the camera close up does not show what you are doing or how to do it., please explain for those of us whome are challanged. thank you.
-
Do you have to calibrate it first on a spirit level?
-
When he did the caster measurement, did he forget to multiply the 4.4 degrees by 1.5 like it is suggested in other videos? Or when he leveled the tool, did it factor that in?
-
What if the rotor is warped, how do you measure something like that? thank you
-
You need to multiply the "caster" measurement you have shown by 1.5 to get the true caster angle as would be measured on an alignment machine. If you look at bubble gauges, the scale is 1.5 times larger on the caster scale compared with the camber scale. Otherwise a good instructional video. Thanks.
