camber angle measurement

[japat]

hi pilgrim,

see my post for uneven tyre wear,

have made a tool  to measure the camber angle of the wheels,
it consists of a protractor to measure the angle, a spirit level 600 ml long, hinge, 2 wheelclamps, 2 spacer pins,
2 x 600 ml lengths metal to fix the hinge to the spirit level and protractor

how to use,

tyre pressure and suspension etc set correct, car on level ground
the tool is clamped to the wheel with the spacer pins adjusted to  touch the rims,
the angle can then be read from the protractor, the spirit level will indicate negitive or positive,

I used this system to obtain the camber angle, then made and fitted spacer plates to fix the angle to be zero,
hope this helps solve camber problems.

japat, john p
