FAQs
What is the accuracy of the Intercomp Bubble Castor Camber Gauge?
The gauge offers 0.25-degree accuracy for camber and 1/8 of a degree increments for castor measurements.
What is the measurement range for camber and castor?
It measures camber from -6 to +6 degrees and castor from -8 to +8 degrees.
Does it come with a case?
Yes, it includes a foam-lined hard case for storage and transportation.
Is a magnetic surface required for use?
Yes, the gauge features a magnetic adaptor that requires a clean, flat metal surface for secure attachment.
Can this gauge be used on any vehicle?
It is compatible with most vehicles, provided there is an accessible, flat metal surface on the hub or suspension for the magnetic adaptor.
How do I clean the gauge?
Wipe the gauge clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What is the primary benefit of using this gauge?
It provides accurate, easy-to-read castor and camber measurements quickly, aiding in precise suspension tuning.
Troubleshooting
Gauge is not reading accurately.
Ensure the gauge is placed on a perfectly level surface or that the vehicle's hub is vertical when measuring camber. Check that the magnetic surface is clean and free of debris. Verify that the bubble is centered when the gauge is in a known level position.
Magnetic adaptor is not holding securely.
Clean both the magnetic surface of the gauge and the mounting surface on the vehicle. Ensure there are no paint, dirt, or rust obstructions. Use the gauge on a thicker, flatter metal surface for better magnetic adhesion.
Bubble is difficult to see.
Ensure adequate lighting in your work area. Clean the bubble display glass if it appears smudged.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the gauge is clean and the magnetic adaptor is free of debris before attaching it to a suitable metal surface on the vehicle's hub or suspension component. Allow the vehicle's suspension to settle after jacking and supporting it before taking readings.
Compatibility: The magnetic adaptor is designed to attach to a flat, clean metal surface. Compatibility is primarily with vehicles that have accessible, non-painted metal surfaces on the hub assembly or steering knuckle. The measurement range is suitable for most passenger vehicles and performance cars.
Care: After each use, wipe the gauge and magnetic adaptor clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store the gauge in its foam-lined hard case to protect it from dust, impacts, and damage. Avoid exposing the gauge to extreme temperatures or corrosive substances.
