Results are repeatable as far as I can tell, and I was able to fix a nasty pull my truck had by getting the camber back in spec (it was out by over a degree, thanks previous owner!). Caster is measured by turning the wheel, zeroing the gauge, then turning it the other way. The end (opposite the magnet) is tapered for you to align with the side of the vehicle to get that +- 20* that you're supposed to for caster if you don't have the appropriate floor plates. Design features like that tell me that whoever designed this has actually used it for the intended purpose.
For my application (2001 S10 Pickup) the magnets will just stick to the end of the spindle with the dust boot removed, but as I understand it, you might need adapters elsewhere. Longacre also sells an adapter that will hook to any wheel, which I don't own yet, but I think would be my next logical step to purchase if ever I had a vehicle that this didn't fit. It's a 3 legged thing with sort of hooks or studs on the ends.
end of the instrument itself was broken, I do think the case could be a little longer so more padding could be on the ends of the case. It was
obvious that this package was handled very roughly and it should have been Labeled Fragile and was not, but Amazon gave their typical good
service and I returned and reordered the same tool and it arrived OK the second time.
Now as for the tool, it is of good quality and design (except the case needs more padding on the ends) and works well after playing with it a little
to get used to the vials and the routine to check Camber. In fact my 1994 Ford Van that I had aligned 3 times by So Called Pro's
with Computerized equipment at two different places that still pulled to one side and had uneven tire wear and that I could look at on flat ground with my eyes alone and tell the Camber was off but the Computerized Machines said was ok. After Using The Tool and adjusting Camber and Caster the van steers much better and tracks perfectly, a Vast Improvement with perfect tire wear. You do need to check Toe also, something this
tool is not designed for, I recommend you use a homemade tool if you don't have one, I made mine by welding nuts onto a piece of angle and
putting bolts in those to adjust to put against the front and back of the inside of the rims, typically you want just a little toe in at the front so if your
tool is snug in the front and just a little loose in the back then you are likely ok.
