Improving handling
#22
Paul, the simplest way I have found of measuring castor (not camber) angle is to use a digital inclinometer like this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113955392731

You can zero it by putting it on a straight length of timber lying next to the car then sit it on top of the stub axle (probably remove the screwed brass cap first) and it will tell you the answer.

It may not be 100% accurate but it's cheap, easy, quick and will certainly give you a clue if things are wildly wrong.

I suppose you could use it for camber as well if you really wanted to but let's not complicate matters.

Regards,

Stuart
