Just pay the return postage...... I made my own tracking gauge from what we call 'Dexion' angle iron - like full scale Meccano or what you maybe call Erector . Works very well.......

Do you set 90° at the front cross bar(pict 1) then measure (pict 3)?

Essentially the same as mine - except mine is bolted up rigidly at 90 degrees. Set it up and measure. However I always repeat with the bar under the car to eliminate any errors. Can take the readings 3 times each way - and get same result - so I think it does the job!
