I still have an item that would probably be considered an antique these days. It is a curved level in a triangular shaped gauge. You can get caster and camber angles from it. If fits on the spindle behind the spindle nut. For old school, poor boy tricks, use pieces of sheet metal with grease smeared on them for turn plates. This will get the job done.


Scribing the line on the tires with the nail and jackstand means clamping the nail firmly to the jack stand as a solid point. With the wheel off the ground, get the nail positioned on the tire and turn it to make a mark like using a lathe.

Some cars can simply be set back on the ground and measure, but the 123 must be rolled about one tire revolution to let the camber settle out for an accurate measurement.
