Road Crown Gauge
The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to
attach the road crown gauge to the vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you attach and align the
road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate the gauge:
^
Park the vehicle on a level surface, like an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^
If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with
the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. Example: Your first reading is +3 and after
moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1. The difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive. If you plan to have an assistant help you during
the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you are sitting in the vehicle.
