DIY alignment 200 1986

For adjusting camber I use a digital level. Mine reads out in tenths of a degree between 89 and 90 degrees, and .5 degree intervals from 1 to 89 degrees. I place a flat hardwood block on the rim, then hold the level vertically, then take the reading. I would be reading 90 degrees for zero degrees camber, but the math is not difficult. If I need better accuracy between 1 & 2 degrees camber, I add a 1/4 inch shim between the rim and one side of my block -- 1/4 inch = 1 degree for 15 inch span. I do not have an accurate way to measure the toe yet.
