Abstract
An upright flat body member is provided on a gauge which is arranged to lie flatwise against a brake hub plate for positioning such body member precisely parallel with the brake hub plates. The body member has a depending portion with a positioning finger arranged for axial alignment with the wheel spindle. The body member also has an upper extension which supports a gauge member projecting perpendicular to the flat body member and arranged to determine the angular disposition of the upwardly extending portion of a spring strut relative to the flat body member. The gauge includes adjustable features to accommodate different models of struts.

A gauge for checking the angle between an upwardly extending portion of a vehicular spring strut and a wheel spindle supported on the strut having a brake hub plate extending perpendicular to the spindle, the brake hub plate having wheel support studs thereon, said gauge comprising
- (a) an upright flat body member arranged to lie flatwise against a brake hub plate for positioning it precisely parallel with the brake hub plate,
- a depending portion on said body member,
- positioning means on said depending portion arranged for alignment with the wheel spindle,
- an upper extension on said body member,
- and a gauge member on said extension projecting from said flat body member to determine the angular disposition of the upwardly extending portion of a spring strut relative to said flat body member.
