The 10500SS Stainless Steel Turning Radius Gauges provide precision measurement for front wheel alignments, accurately measuring how many degrees the front wheels are turned left or right. These gauges are essential for measuring caster, camber, and toe-out on turns, ensuring your alignment work meets manufacturer specifications every time.
