My angle finder came with the TA and it's in 1 deg incriments. Put the car up, with the weight on the suspension. Center the angle finder on the bottom side of the driveshaft, there's your baseline angle. Place the angle finder on the bottom TA mounting plate and the angle should be the same, if you want some negative, turn the diff nose down.

Some sponsors (the ones who sell torque arms) sell the magnetic protractors individually. But
harbor freight and other hardware stores usually have them. I'd not pay more than 4.99 for one, but if you can't find em cheaper.. oh well
