Response to How is the Longacre Gauge Used?

Mike, camber is merely a bubble measurement. On a Mustang you usually have to pull off the grease cap on the spindle and then the magnet holds it to the drum/rotor

Caster, you turn the wheel 20 degrees one way, level it, which the tool actually is designed to look down the fender and get you close, then turn it 20 degrees past center the other way, and the tool now reads caster.

Its slick

I then do toe a little bit goofy, but I have found its most repeatable.

I measure to true zero toe, then do the math for 1/16 toe in, and turn the adjuster accordingly. Zero is easy to measure Front=back. It gets tougher to be very precise when you just measure differences
