The new lightweight, aluminium steering turntables by Gunson Tools are supplied as a pair and enable the user to carry out various checks.
The user can check the steering angle on full lock to ensure the steering is centralised; check toe in/toe out on turns; and check the caster and KPI (king pin inclination) when used in conjunction with the company’s 77099 Caster,
Camber and KPI gauge.
A big advantage of this is that they are manufactured from aluminium, and are thus lightweight and easily portable. They are suitable for use on both classic and modern vehicles, as they can handle a maximum weight each of 2,000kg. The turntables can be used on a vehicle hoist in conjunction with a 3D wheel alignment machine, or used on a level workshop floor as stand-alone turntables.
The turntables can be locked to keep them central as the vehicle is positioned onto the turntables, then the locking pins are removed to begin checking and adjustment.
