Instructions For No. 78290 Digital

Caster/Camber Gauge

1) Find a level place to set up your front end. This unit reads camber very accurately. Unlevel

ground will affect that accuracy.

2) Attach the gauge to the spindle. Be sure that the surface you attach to is machined square to the

spindle and doesn't have any nicks or burrs.

BE SURE WHEELS ARE POINTED STRAIGHT AHEAD WHEN SETTING CAMBER.

3) Rotate the gauge until the small vial on the top of the gauge shows level.

4) CAMBER: Turn on the

AccuLevel™

Digital Readout by pushing “ON/OFF”. Camber is

read directly on the display to .1

(1/10

). See separate

AccuLevel™

instructions if needed.

On the left side of the display a pointing up indicates negative camber (top of tire in). A

pointing down indicates positive camber (top of tire out). Race cars usually use negative camber

on RF and positive camber on LF.

5) CASTER is measured with the vial on the top - from 4

negative to 12

positive. First turn the

wheels 20

to the right when setting the RF or 20

left when setting LF. Rotate the gauge until it

is level.

6) Turn the knurled nob in the center until the center caster vial reads 0

. Now turn the wheels

back past center to 20

the opposite way - for a total of 40

. Rotate the gauge again to level

(DON’T turn knurled knob). Read the Caster directly on the vial. Read to the center of the

bubble. Each line is 1/2

7) Adjust the caster and camber as needed. Each time you make a change bounce on the front end

to settle the suspension. NOTE: Adjusting the caster may have an effect on the camber and vice

versa. Tighten bolts & double check all settings.

CASTER NOTE: If you wish to measure caster to .1

(1/10

) on the digital readout please see

supplemental instructions. Caster measured with the vial on top is to 1/2

Warning:

Do Not leave the gauge in the hot sunlite

or store in a place over 120

F. The digital

display may not be readable and/or break-

age of the vials could occur due to heat

expansion.

Once it cools down the digital display should be visable again.

Replacements for broken vials can be ordered from any authorized

dealer or the factory. Replacement is quick and simple with no loss

of accuracy.
