UPDATE: We just purchased a second pair of turn plates for the rear, too. That way we can do full alignments to the front and the rear of the car without having to swap turnplates, raise the car, etc!
Garage Woolery has scraped together enough pennies to acquire a set of Longacre scales, levelers, and turn plates!
The scale system consists of four scales linked together to a central computer readout which will display the car’s weight, the weight on each corner, and the percentage of the weight distribution across the car. All that information is displayed on a handy central display.
The turn plates will allow for adjustment of toe and camber without having to lift the car off the scales. It has freedom of movement along two axis and can rotate at the same time, so no binding of suspension components!
This system will allow us to weigh, corner weigh, and adjust front alignment while still on the scales (no need to jack up the car). Now we just need to save up for some camber/caster/toe adjustment tools so we can do full alignments and cornerweighing during Garage Woolery tech days!
