Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure herein describes an apparatus that enables simultaneous readings of the camber, caster and steering axis inclination of the steering components of a front wheel suspension of a vehicle;
the apparatus comprises a C-shaped upright, the upper and lower extremities of which engage the upper and lower steering pivots of the component. A carriage, slidably mounted on the upright, supports a yoke member which is adapted to bear against the hub assembly of the vehicle wheel. A first gauge is mounted to the yoke member to give a camber reading of the strut while second and third gauges are mounted on the carriage to give a caster reading and a steering axis inclination reading.
