Can it be measured from the kingpin cover? Seems like the best place would be a flat surface 90* to the kingpins. I'm thinking a driveline anglefinder on top of my x-over steering arm would work. :confused:
 
All the research i did tells me no.
I was all about measuring it when i relocated and lengthened my front shackles, but everywhere i looked for the info told me that it can not be accuratly measured without an alignment rack.

Anyone else have any thoughts?
 
You are correct, you CAN measure for caster angle using an angle finder on the steering arm of a D60. The reason being is because it is 90* to the king pin centerline as you said.
