   Any suggestions for a good, but not too expensive measuring tool and 15 to   
   17 inch adjustable wheel jig for checking camber at home that you know of?   
      
   I know there is an "egyptian" way (plumb bobs, yellow string,& protractors).   
   Those methods are said to be as accurate as the plus/minus in the oem specs.   
      
   But I'd prefer a hundred-dollar (or so) readout tool & a fifty-dollar (or   
   so) adjustable wheel jig which fits standard daily-drive type automobiles.   
      
   Have you ever measured camber accurately enough (OEM specs) at home?   
   Can you recommend a good measuring tool & jig in about that price range?
