I am about to put in my new, rebuilt, disk brake front end. I can figure out how to get a basic alignment on the truck as far as camber and toe in, but cant figure where, or how to measure for a caster adjustment. I figured at worst I could use a protractor to measure the current spindles between the two ball joints, then just apply that measurement to the new front end. I do wonder if there is an accurate way to get the exact measurement though?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
