Magnetic Camber Alignment Gauge

Almost impossible to get an accurate reading despite, trying to find the most level surface. I would avoid buying this cheap junk and go for something electronic with a zero function.

The aluminum looks well machined on this camber check tool. The bubble on the main camber indicator is very clear but the bubble on the level indicator at the end of the tool is a bit hard to see. Magnet strength at the end of the tool is perfectly strong enough for what this tool needs to do.Note that there are now cell phone alignment tools entering the market that are becoming popular but I expect it will be a while before they replace the popular toe plates and these camber gauges at track events since these are a time tested method of field aligning. Even if you use a cell phone alignment system I expect this tool will be extremely convenient in double checking the output of such a system.

I ordered this a quick way to make sure my suspension is adjusted properly. This basic tool makes it easy for me to adjust camber prior to getting on the track. I am able to set my camber back to what it was before the track very easily. I take a picture of what it was set to on each side of the front end and set it back to that after I am finished. It works great for that purpose. I am not sure I would want to use this do any type of more serious alignment since it is limited 1/2 a degree in accuracy. It's a good quality tool though for basic uses like mine. It easily fits in my helmet bag so I don't forget it. I would recommend this for anyone who changes camber for track or autocross.

I still do some repairs on my own cars. Not as much as I used to but I still do some brake and chassis work myself. This is great to have on hand to get the alignment close until I can get the car to a shop to have a proper alignment performed. The quality was far better than I was expecting for the price. I feel like taken care of these will last a good long while. So far it has worked for me and helped me to get close enough to be able to drive to a shop to have them check the alignment for me.

Great tool for alignment

Obviously if you're a home mechanic there are limited times this type of tool is needed, but when so it's very helpful to simplify basic re-alignment. Especially useful when replacing or just removing and re-installing suspension components during ancillary work which is what I needed it for. The magnet is super strong and dial is easy to read. Very solid option for a quick and simple alignment tool.

Found a couple videos on YouTube of people using an extremely similar tool. Assumed to match what the alignment shop found for the camber. An easy way to know where your camber is sitting

This tool arrives with a basic instruction sheet that I found extremely helpful, considering I'm not a professional mechanic. The camber gauge seems well built, and the magnet is strong. The tool itself is decent looking metal. Using the provided info and some online videos, I was able to figure out how to do my own wheel alignment. Trying to save some $$ because my van is always getting out of alignment, so this has been a really helpful tool!

Lots of various descriptions and reviews online for similar tools. The reality is, any tool is only as good as the user. Alignments are not a secret art, but certainly one of the more misunderstood repairs to complete accurately. Use of the magnet depends on if the brake rotor is accessible through the wheel, or if the wheel is steel, it's outer shape for flat attachment. Any separate repairs, such as worn bushings, bearing damage or missing shims, are for the user to determine. No instructions are included, as there are too many possible applications; solid axle, strut, independent suspension, front wheel drive, etc. If you are comfortable with suspension repairs, have the other necessary tools, and resources or manuals providing correct specs, this is a great and simple tool to help. If you have a vehicle not suitable for a repair shop, such as a vintage car, custom suspension, track car, or off road atv or SxS, this little tool can save you a lot of tire wear.

Well made with easy to follow instrctions. The magnets is strong and it has worked well on my van. I will try it on my car next, but I believe it will do a good job.
