Default Caster / Camber Gauge Adapters

I was wondering what the best adapter for rear wheel alignment. I figure that the GM adapter will be fine for the front, but I was wondering about the rear. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Dunlop Style.

You cannot adjust castor on the rear wheels. So.. All you really needs is a bubble level and a set of trammel points. (a tape measure would work too) Now you need to drive the onto some teflon squares with a wad of grease inbetween so you can adjust the wheels with the weight on the suspension loaded. (you cannot jack the car and let it down on the pads) You must drive forward onto the pads so ramps are not good. Set it at 1/8" toe in per wheel and 0-1/2 deg. Negative camber. (top tilted in)

I'm getting the gauge for the front, and want to use it on the rear as well. Is the dunlop style ok, or is it inaccurate?

The GM adaptor does not fit our cars...

Get the Magnetic mount
