Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Passenger cars with suitable magnetic hub or brake-disc surfaces
- Light trucks with suitable magnetic hub or brake-disc surfaces
- Race and project vehicles during suspension setup
- Workshop before-and-after alignment checks
Product Overview
After strut, control-arm, ball-joint, or coilover work, this compact bubble gauge helps a technician bring camber close to specification before the vehicle reaches an alignment rack. Its magnetic base is useful only on a clean, flat, magnetic surface square to the spindle. It does not measure toe, thrust angle, or all four-wheel geometry by itself.
This makes it a practical choice when diagnosis points to the original component rather than a related system fault. Confirm that the vehicle exposes a suitable ferrous reference surface and that the required angle falls within the tool's approximate -5° to +5° scale.
Key Features & Performance
- Magnetic base attaches to compatible hub or disc surfaces
- Adjustable bubble with approximately -5° to +5° range
- Compact tool for suspension service checks
- Reusable for camber and caster setup procedures
Common Uses
- Checking camber after strut replacement
- Recording alignment before suspension disassembly
- Bringing adjustable arms close before professional alignment
- Comparing left and right suspension angles

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown. Confirm that the vehicle exposes a suitable ferrous reference surface and that the required angle falls within the tool's approximate -5° to +5° scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it stick to an aluminum hub? A: No. The base requires a ferrous magnetic surface or a suitable adapter.
Q: Can it replace a complete alignment machine? A: It is useful for setup and checks, but it does not measure every alignment angle or compensate for all variables.
Q: Why must the mounting face be flat? A: A tilted or dirty reference surface directly changes the reading.
