I've been trying to find something worth while to check the front and rear cant and the front axle bend. I found this but what are you guys using?

I use this protractor to check the bend in the DFW axle:

I cut a small notch for clearance for the axle head. I think there was a thread a while back with a photo. I'll see if I can find it.

+1 this is what I use also. The notch idea works great!

I'm going to have to find that notch idea! I also have one of these but you can tell its off a little.

Thanks
Guys!

I looked for the post but couldn't find it. I had a pic on my home computer but the OS crashed and I lost everything. I'll get another pic when I get back home.

I wish I could take the credit for it, but another racer shared it with me on here. I would give them credit but I can't remember who it was! I think I'm going to blame it on AC Designs or D4D. Sorry if I'm wrong!

I'll try that angle sometime on a real axle Mr Kinser! This is just a BSA nail that I bent hammering it in! Thanks!

I like the laser for this type of work.
