ABSTRACT:
An alignment gauge assembly for a vehicle wheel having a spindle with a threaded outer end in which an adapter is mounted on the end of the threaded portion of the spindle and includes a shank in axial alignment with the spindle and a head on the shank having an outwardly facing surface at right angles to the axis of the shank and a center hole therein, the threaded end of the shank replacing the standard nut and washer on the end of the spindle. The head, and preferably the shank, are made of ferrous metal or other magnetic attractable material for mounting a caster and camber gauge thereon, using a permanent magnet in the gauge for attachment to the outwardly facing surface and a center pin for seating in the center hole. When mounted on the adapter, the gauge is in axial alignment with the wheel spindle and contains scales for determining the caster and camber of the wheel.
