Default DIY Camber easy w/ torque thrust wheels

Camber measurements are repeatable and close to alignment shop print out.

Level car first.

Put car on turntable.

Measure camber directly using digital angle finder.

I know there are many other ways to measure camber.

Can measure camber on either side of disc brake rotor if have access.

Can also use a straight edge on rim and measure camber w/ angle finder or level. Straight edge does not need to pass wheel center line but needs to be vertical.

I don't know if it is good or bad but China is flooding us with cheepo fancy spancy tools that we couldn't all afford before.
