MEASURING CAMBER & CASTER ANGLE
Calibrate Your Gauge
NOTE: Before proceeding to check the camber, first calibrate your gauge using one of the following methods: Clamp a good quality spirit level, with transverse bubble, so that the long faces are vertical. Place the magnetic face of the gauge onto the vertical face of the spirit level and adjust the gauge thumbscrew until the gauge bubble is centered on the 0° mark.
With The Wheels Off
Having got the vehicle to a position where the wheels have been removed and the sills are at the same height that they would be with the wheels on, use a jack to carefully raise the wishbone to the same height as it was with the wheels on. When the wishbones are at the correct height, simply use the magnetic base on the camber gauge to attach it to the brake disc.
With The Wheels On
Ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat level surface, the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure and the rear wheels are chocked. Having removed any wheel trims, place a straight bar across two flats of the wheel trying to keep as close to the 6 o clock position as possible . Ensure the wheel has no dents where you are placing the bar.
Caster Angle
Caster is the inclination of the steering axis from vertical line the longitudinal plane (wheel viewed from the side). Positive caster is achieved when the steering axis is inclined toward the rear of the vehicle at the top in the side view. Negative caster is achieved when the steering axis is is inclined toward the front of the vehicle at the top in the side view.
Camber Angle
Camber is defined as the inward or outward tilt of a wheel at the top, relative to vertical at the center of the wheel in the lateral plane. If the top of the tire is leaning inward toward the center of the car (viewed from the front of the vehicle), the tire has negative camber. If the top of the tire is leaning outward, it has positive camber.
Toe Out / IN
Toe is a measurement of how much the front wheels are turned in or out viewed from a straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive. When the wheels are turned out, toe is negative. The actual measure of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel. Toe also serves to offset the small deflections of the wheel support system that occur when the vehicle is rolling forward. Improper toe adjustment can cause premature tire wear and steering instability.
Measuring Caster Angle
Castor angle is the angle between the vertical and the inclination of the king pin when viewed from side of vehicle. 1) Turn the wheels 20° from dead ahead, the wheel you will measure will be the wheel that has the front of the tyre facing away from the car. 2) Place the gauge against the wheel again using a level surface at 90° to the wheel spindle and adjust the bubble so that it is dissected by the zero° mark. 3) Turn the wheels 20° the other way (a total of 40°). 4) Take a reading, and this will be your castor angle.

I recently got the Toolwiz Universal Adjustable Magnetic Gauge Tool, and it’s been a game-changer for tire and wheel alignment on my car and truck. This tool is incredibly easy to use and provides precise camber and caster measurements, making alignment jobs quicker and more efficient. The magnetic base holds securely, giving me confidence while I work. The build quality is excellent—it feels sturdy and built to last, even with frequent use. Whether it’s a car, truck, or RV, this gauge tool adapts perfectly. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an effective, high-quality, and easy-to-use alignment solution and great value for your money.

High quality item , smaller than it looks but I’m sure it does a great job , as I’m doing the toe and camber on Jeep front axel

It's a tool off Amazon. It works for what's it's intended for. Nothing to tell all your friends about.I completely disassembled and swapped out my trucks front end and lifted it and this helped get everything close enough to drive out to a shop for an alignment.

Very simple to use tool, no instructions provided but plenty online, this tool gives a pretty close to perfect reading, very well made and strong magnet, came very well packaged and great to put the tool back for protection, very important the surface be level for good results, must have for the price!

a very well-made tool and works good. I Also liked the black tinted finish. Made it easier for me to see well worth the money.

I wanted this to work, I really did. But I had the opportunity to compare it with a more expensive Tenhulzen alignment setup and found it quite lacking.On my 1965 VW Beetle, it measured camber at -1 degrees (driver's side) and +.5 degrees. This is wildly out of spec and I was informed that this was indicative of bent tie rods.Fortunately, I decided to try with the more expensive alignment kit which indicated that both wheels were well within spec. Had I acted on the results that this gauge provided, it would have been a costly and unnecessary mistake.The problem is three-fold. First, as this is a spirit level, it works relative to gravity and not relative to the surface that the vehicle is sitting on (this was most of the problem in my case). Second, it needs to be adjusted perfectly prior to use. Third, the spirit bubble is not very precise, with a precision of maybe 0.5 degrees (that's the entire error bound for most vehicles!).So neat idea, but not really worth it.

I used this tool one time and then stored in its packaging while not in use. Wen to pull it out to use again and the leveling fluid was almost all gone and was unusable. Don't waste your money on this unless you only need to use it once and throw away.

So easy to use. Gives a simple readout on the tire camber.
