The rear Caster Tool is a block that is connected to the rear knuckle and a angle gauge to measures rear caster.

I think that $500 is a bit too much for my 911 C2S also which cost way more than my 80K Corvette. Like double too much.....

Is there someone with a copy of Mitchell's Labor Guide so we can see what it books at and ask the $500 guy what makes it worth more than the book time?

That 200 buck gauge adapter is only one out of 2 parts. Shops get the 2 digital angle gauges as well, and that is another 850 bucks. That being said I'm inclined to put my vette up, get it 100% leveled, and start doing the alignment myself with my own tools.
