What does a caster gauge measure?

In a nutshell, it measures a certain angle of the wheel of a car. There is the caster and camber of a tire. Camber is how a tire sits-if it lines up verticially, or has a tilt to it which could mean a serious problem. Caster is if the tire's suspension is off, the way it is supposed to hang vs a tilt that might face a slightly off angle. In the case of a caster being off, it is usually only within a few degrees, which isn't so terrible, but it isn't good. Camber tilt is usually the result of a loss of lugnuts and indicating that the tire is about to come off, or that there is some seriosu damage to the suspension. In either case for both Caster and Camber, problem with suspension can be serious, but the tools for actually checking your caster/camber can be done with a series of gauges, such as that the question is about. It can save you quite a bit to do it yourself, detect a problem before it gets out of hand or otherwise. on average, taking your car in to have these tests done can run from $70 to $100.

What does camber mean?

Camber refers to the slight curvature or incline of a surface, often used in engineering and design contexts. In automotive terms, it describes the angle of the wheels in relation to the vertical axis when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. A positive camber means the top of the wheels tilts outward, while a negative camber means they tilt inward. Proper camber adjustment can improve handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle performance.

What do shotgun gauges mean?

It is the measurement of the bore size. The gauge is the number of balls the diameter of the barrel that could be made from a pound lead.

The exception is the .410 which is the actual measurement of the barrel diameter, 41/100 inch.
