The set includes two powder-coated steel toe plates shaped to clear the vehicle body, dual tape measures for simultaneous left\/right readings, and a sensitive digital angle finder for camber checks. Together these tools let you capture coaxial wheel distances and angular data so you can make informed steering and alignment adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the PHATRIP kit measure toe accurately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system measures the lateral distance between front and rear edges of coaxial wheels to calculate toe-in or toe-out. By mounting the toe plates to the hubs and running tape measures from precise points, you get repeatable left and right measurements that reveal misalignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo toe plates attach to M14 wheel studs for consistent reference points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual tape measures allow simultaneous measurement to reduce parallax errors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge steel plates maintain shape for reliable, repeatable readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this tool on SUVs, ATVs and other vehicles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the toe plates are built to fit vehicles using M14 wheel bolts and the raised profile accommodates higher-clearance wheels. That makes the kit suitable for standard passenger cars as well as many SUVs, Jeeps, ATVs, UTVs and golf carts, as long as the vehicle uses compatible studs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility: designed for M14-stud hubs common on many off-road and passenger vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaised plate design lets tape measures clear fenders and brake components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact footprint fits inside tighter wheel wells for varied vehicle types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat role does the digital angle finder play in alignment checks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included digital angle finder measures camber and other alignment angles with high sensitivity so you can detect small deviations. With 0.2° resolution it helps you spot subtle tilt that affects steering and tire wear, assisting adjustments after toe corrections are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDigital readout provides quick, legible angle values.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.2° accuracy helps identify minor camber issues before they become major problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall, portable unit mounts to wheel surfaces for on-vehicle readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use the PHATRIP toe plates and tape measures step-by-step?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the toe plates as fixed reference points and take front-to-back measurements across each wheel to determine toe. Mount plates to wheel hubs (after removing wheels if required), extend tapes to consistent points, compare left and right readings, and use the angle finder to confirm camber while making adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttach toe plates to hub studs; ensure plates sit squarely against the hub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtend both tape measures to matching reference points on the opposite side of each wheel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecord measurements, calculate toe differences, then adjust tie rods or alignment components as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse the angle finder to verify camber after adjustments are completed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: This PHATRIP alignment kit is aimed at home mechanics, mobile technicians and off-road owners who want a low-cost way to check and correct wheel alignment on-site. It’s ideal for people who maintain their own vehicles, manage a fleet of light vehicles, or need a portable tool for field repairs. It does not replace a professional four-wheel alignment rack for complex jobs, but it provides reliable, repeatable data to guide adjustments and catch alignment issues early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this kit work on wheels with M12 or M16 studs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The toe plates are designed for M14 studs; adapters are not included, so M12 or M16 hubs require compatible adapters or different plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need to remove the wheels to use the tool?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: In many cases you can mount the plates without removing wheels, but wheel removal makes placement and tape routing easier for some vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"PHATRIP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48081118757022,"sku":"B0DGFTT1WQ","price":79.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/phatrip-toe-plates-front-view.jpg?v=1785796615","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/phatrip-toe-alignment-tool-steel-toe-plates-with-2-tape-measures-digital-angle-finder-for-fast-accurate-wheel-alignment","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
