(BS2) Front Wheel Alignment Trainer

Item	:	Front Wheel Alignment Trainer
Models	:	BS-FAS-T

This trainer has been specially designed to teach the principles of Alignment in modern passenger cars. This trainer features an original front of end of a vehicle which has been specially modified to facilitate instruction. A number of gauges and tools are included which resemble actual Alignment Equipment so that the student may make appropriate measurement and actually perform the real Alignment process. The process so the student can understand the theory as well as the practical.

Technical Description:

The trainer consists of an original front end unit from a typical passenger vehicle. It has been specially modified for quick adjustment of all alignment and steering geometry points. The unit is mounted on a special stand which facilitates alignment procedures and utilization of test equipment and accessories. The trainer comes with two wheel rims with tires.

Additional recommended accessories or options:
BS-FAS-T1		Original vehicle steering wheel
BS-FAS-T2		Camber/caster steering axis inclination gauge
BS-FAS-T3		A set of two wheel turntables with gauges allows for measurement of the degree of turn on both sides of zero (for calculation of toe-in and toe-out)
BS-FAS-T4		Ball joint inspection gauge for checking upper and lower ball joint condition, out of round tires and wheel run out

The following topics are covered in the instruction program:
1.		General theory on Suspension and Steering System including different types and Alignment geometry principles.
2.		Pre-Alignment Check Procedures: tire pressure and wear, Front wheel bearing play and adjustment, ball jointplay inspection, shock absorber wear, steering gear and linkage looseness.
3.		Caster: determination, adjustment and correction.
4.		Chamber: determination, adjustment and correction (positive or negative).
5.		Steering Axis inclination (angle): determination, adjustment and correction.
6.		Alignment of Steering Gear.
7.		Track Alignment individual and overall toe-in and toe-out.
8.		Setback: variation of offset (as A function of caster and inclination-positive or negative values are possible).
9.		Effects of tire pressure on Alignment.
10.		Ball joint play measurement
Note: A variety of front end system from different vehicles models are available.
