Product Description

Toolwiz universal magnetic camber/castor gauge is an adjustable strut wheel alignment equipment allowing you to return the strut to the original camber position after dismantling and re-assembling the suspension or to check the amount of camber change before re-installing. Adjustment to maintain correct wheel alignment and even prevent tire wear.

Robust, magnetic gauge mounts onto hub or brake disc for quick and accurate measurement of camber and castor angles. Large adjuster knob for convenient zeroing of bubble during castor angle measurement. Graduated from +5° to -5°

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.

This adjustable gauge allows you to return the strut to the original camber position after dismantling and re-assembling the suspension or to check the amount of camber change before re-installing.
Suitable for accurate checking of the castor and camber angle. Measures the camber and caster angle on the wheel hub or brake disc. Also it could be used as a normal gradienter.
With it’s strong magnetic attraction it can easily attached on all kind metal surfaces.
Easy to read through accurate scale with range of measurement from -5 up to +5 degrees.
