I looked at the web site and their claim is seen below in quotes. My question is how does this work when it contacts only one wheel???
“One of the most accurate and inexpensive toe gauges on the market today
· Gauge makes contact with only one wheel and therefore is not subject to error
· Contact is made while the two spots are in a position, in front of the axle where
the dial is set at zero. The gauge is left in position while the car is rolled
forward a certain amount to bring the gauge and the two spots into a
corresponding position, in back of the axle where the reading is taken.
· If the gauge should be placed against any irregularity at the front, it will not
cause an error because the same irregularity will be moved with the gauge to
the back, where the reading is taken. As the gauge is not touched by the
operator between the setting and reading, contact with the wheels is sure to
be exactly the same in both positions"
