Vintage auto mechanic tool: Tric-Kee Tri-Ang-U-Liner Model 57-A Caster-Camber Gauge w/original box & instruction sheets
Produced by the Tric-Kee Tool Company of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, it is a mechanical automotive diagnostic device used to measure wheel alignment geometry without requiring expensive electronic turntable equipment.
The Gauge: The triangular red casing features a built-in bubble level spirit indicator. When mounted properly, it provides direct angle readings to check the camber (the inward or outward tilt of the tire) and caster (the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis).
The Mount Clamp: The small metallic C-clamp is designed to secure the triangular tool base flat against a true reference surface on the wheel hub or brake drum.
Documentation: The kit includes the original factory cardboard storage box, step-by-step instructional guides, and comprehensive vehicle specification charts mapping standard target alignment specs.
A classic vintage garage tool that allowed mechanics or do-it-yourselfers to check and adjust suspension angles without large digital alignment racks.
comes as shown; tool is very clean (possibly barely or un-used, old stock?) but original box is dirty & instruction sheets have some soiling
