You place it on the wheel pointing upwards and there is to sprit level bubbles on it not sure how accurate they are it has been a while since i have seen one in a workshop as we all use better more accurate thing's these days.

I think noah had one when he built the ark lol

Thats a KingPin camber gauge,Steve make sure your car is on level ground first using a spiritlevel and then calibrate the gauge to zero using a vertical level.

Basic/simple but easy to use.

I use a plumb line, an engineering ruler and a calculator on level ground, accurate to 0.1 degs ;-)

I keep meaning to get something a bit more flash but the string works so well :-D :-D
Self calibrating digital gauges accurate to 0.1degs were around £130 the last time I looked.

The adjusting still takes longer than the measuring which is why I haven't really bothred.

Not sure of that specific one but the concept is you place the plate aginst the weheel and wind a small screw in to push the plate away from the wheel to make it vertical according to the spirit level. The amount you have to wind in is measured and gives a camber reading.

these r ok as long as ur wheels are dead straight u can get tracking equipment which comonsates for any slight or big buckles in the wheels which tell u ur camber to and they can be ajusted with this on this is how i got mine checked and my camber on the front was a bit too much but nothing to worry about all the merityre places round here have this topn equipment.
