What Is the Working Model of Suspension & Steering Trainer Used For?
Wheel alignment sets the angles at which the wheels meet the road: caster affects straight-line stability and self-centring, camber is the tilt of the wheel seen from the front, and toe is whether the wheels point slightly in or out, and errors in any of them cause pulling and uneven tyre wear. On the trainer, students set the wheels on the movable turntables, read the angles with the magnetic gauge, alter caster, camber and toe, adjusting toe at the tie-rod ends, and measure again to see the result. Using the three frame adjustments, the instructor can create uneven loading or worn springs, and the quick-disconnect sway bar is released before alignment work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the trainer need any utilities?
No. It needs no electricity, air or hydraulics, so alignment work can be taught in a classroom without putting a vehicle on a rack.
Which alignment angles can students adjust?
Students can make changes to caster, camber and toe, measure them with the magnetic alignment-measuring gauge on the two movable turntables and observe the results.
Is the coil spring safe to work on?
The stock coil spring is replaced by a custom plastic coil spring that carries none of the suspension weight, which removes the danger of MacPherson spring pressure.
Can faulty vehicle conditions be simulated?
Yes, the frame has three manual adjustment features for creating abnormal conditions such as uneven front or rear loading and worn springs.
What should an overseas buyer include in an enquiry?
Include the number of trainers, the destination country with its port or city, the preferred terms such as FOB or CIF, any special packing and any tender reference.
What are the dimensions?
The trainer measures approximately 1400 × 1200 × 1400 mm and weighs about 165 kg.
