  • Where can I buy a magnetic caster guage locally?

    And before haters post I realise the magnetic gauges arent very accurate. But i dont have access to an alignment machine and this is just to set it up so he can drive it to the alignment shop.

      Some Harbor Freight stores have them. You will have to call around.

      I've always been lucky bringing them within spec with a level and tape measure.

        I've used my iPhone for setting up suspension stuff like that.

        There's an app for that! Lol. It's just an angle finder app. Seems to be dead nuts accurate!

            I have aligned more car than I care to remember with hub gauges. Make sure to get 2 roller plates also if you do not have them.

            Let's see, 20 degrees in set, 20 degrees out read.....

              bingo.........and always set a plane for each front wheel off of the rear wheels........string, straight edge or whatever, so ackerman isn't affecting things. Can't align a front without the wheels pointing the right direction.
