SPC Performance FasTrax Camber/Caster Gauge (for 13-17in. Wheels)

I rebuilt the front end on my 1965 Mustang and needed to align the tires. I've never attempted to do a front end alignment and wanted to learn the basics of camber, caster and toe-in. I read as much as I could find and finally decided to give it a try (If I get into trouble I can always go to the alignment shop). I bought the 91000 unit. After the front end rebuild, the car pulled hard to one side and struggle to get around corners. After leveling the 91000 and affixing to the wheel, I found the camber to be reasonably close to spec. The caster though was way off. It only took me about 45-minutes to adjust the caster and re-check the setting using the tool. On the test drive and the car is tracks straight and I've eliminated the pull to one side. Easy to get around corners. Just a few degrees of caster angle changed the entire drive experience. SO glad I took the initiative to purchase this unit. Super easy to use and I can check and perform my own alignments. Doing it myself saved me half a day sitting at the alignment shop and a bill of $100. This tool will be paying for itself on my next alignment and I learned the basics of front end geometry.

Seems like a pretty basic tool. Poorly shipped missing screws. Works very well.

01 Crown Vic I replaced the whole front end, joints, rods, arm bushings and springs. Took it to the shop for an alignment and they said you’re in the green we didn’t charge u for it because we didn’t adjust anything. I could not keep the car in a lane and have been through this before with shops not being able to dial in my vehicles so I bought this Fastrax tool along with turning plates. This tool Is simple to use and accurate, so happy with this purchase- I found the drivers caster out 1 degree and the passenger was 2 out- the car is very stable now and I am a smiling man.

Well made, nearly instant to use, and should last a lifetime. While well made, it is a precision instrument. I suggest keep the box it comes in and use it for storage to protect from bumos. I've used it to align my 3 cars and have taken it to tack days & assisted other folks troubleshooting/optimizing their own alignments. ONly drwaback to this tool is that once in your possesion, you just want to run around in the parking lot like a fool & check everyone's camber. While enetertaining, this is not socially acceptable.

Build quality is good, but I could not figure out why my alignment was so far out until I noticed it was fully out if calerbration. The white match marks on the adjustments plate was far off. Something happened during testing or manufacturer. Once dialed in, it works great.

This little device was something I was missing in my alignment arsenal for quite a while, and it works perfectly, saving me $90 a crack on alignments that need to be done almost every time you change or adjust anything on a front wheel drive car. Set it to zero and set it on your car, which also has to be on a level surface. All three cars I have done so far are fantastic. Always remember to set the camber before the toe and you won't miss. I rate this tool extra high because of the aggravation and frustration it has saved me from.

If you're a real car guy you need to have one of these. For the cost of a couple shop alignments you can do your own with the same degree of accuracy and know that you actually have the specs you want instead of whatever the guy at the shop decides the car is supposed to have. This is especially true with older cars like my '67 Mustang. Most shops no longer know how to adjust them, and the factory specs were for cars with bias ply tires. Using those specs on radial tires results in dangerous handling. I learned to do alignments years ago with angle finders and tape measures, but it was tedious and the results unpredictable. This gauge makes it fast and easy. I will say, you need the rim adapters though. The points it comes with don't hold the gauge on the wheel well at all.

Bubble is too large for accuracy and the adjustable level is difficult to set. Hard to attach to the wheel as the vertical bar slides too easily so it take one hand on the adjustment knob and one hand on the tightening knob. Needs to come with adapters for the attachment to the wheel as the ones that are attached to the arms only work on limited types of wheels. The ones needed to make it easier to attach to my wheels cost another $50 to $60 which is too much..

It appears to be high quality, will use it soon.

I use this to align the wheels on my 69 Mercury Cougar. Does an excellent job. Highly recommended.

The only thing i didnt like is the pins that go onto the rim, they slip quite easily . They come with little rubber bits that still dont bite onto the rim. Have seen a serrated or thread style pin that locks on to the rim much better.

great unit nice easy to use got on utube for video to use it love it for my 66 mustang
