1. Estimating camber? (score: 1): Author: Brian M Kennedy <kennedy@i2.com>; Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 10:14:29 -0600; Anyone know a cheapo way to measure front camber reasonably accurately? I won't be adjusting it, so it doesn't need to be too accurate. I just want to see roughly how much I have (say +-0.5').; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00090.html (6,897 bytes)
2. Re: Estimating camber? (score: 1): Author: Randy Chase <randyc2@home.com>; Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 08:39:59 -0800; Very roughly, I would use a carpenter's square and place it with one edge flat on the ground and the other 90 degree edge against the tire, touching the bottom part of the tire. Measure the distance; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00091.html (7,421 bytes)

Park the car on a level surface, preferably a finished concrete slab. The closer to level, the more accurate your results. 2. Make a plumb bob using a piece of thread; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00100.html (8,750 bytes)
4. Re: Estimating camber? (score: 1): Author: "Jay Mitchell" <jemitchell@compuserve.com>; Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 13:23:39 -0600; I typed: Oops. The formula should contain arcsin rather than arctan. The difference for small values of camber will be negligible, however. If you have -2 degrees, then the error due to use of arctan; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00106.html (7,506 bytes)
5. RE: ESTIMATING CAMBER? (score: 1): Author: "Martin, William A" <MartinWA2@navair.navy.mil>; Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 08:28:41 -0800; Here's a better mousetrap. Randy's technique works, but doesn't allow for the bulge at the bottom of the tire. Also needs math. Jay's technique involves set-up and strings blowing about in the breeze; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00176.html (7,663 bytes)

Obviously your method requires intelligence..so I was screwed. But, now that I understand it,; /html/autox/1999-03/msg00179.html (8,030 bytes)
