Suspension & Steering System Trainer

 EM-130_052793

The ConsuLab EM-130 Suspension and Steering trainer is designed to assist instructors in teaching basic alignment geometry and the function of a MacPherson strut suspension system with rack & pinion steering. The trainer is extremely versatile in that students can easily visualize all component operation as well as practice adjusting the various alignment angles. The trainer is equipped with two movable turntables and a magnetic alignment measuring gauge to assist students in observing actual measurement and changes in alignment angles. Students can also visualize and learn common braking system components.

Educational Advantages
  • Provides full accessibility of vehicle components without access limitations of a real vehicle
  • Alignment demonstrations, measurements, and adjustments can be accomplished with clear viewing by students
  • Component identification of a typical MacPherson strut suspension system
  • Component identification of a typical rack & pinion steering system
  • Component identification of a typical sway & stabilizer bar
  • Front bearing hub and wheel bearing service
  • Make, measure, and observe changes of Caster, Camber, and Toe
  • The EM-130 trainer can be used for student identification of a typical disc brake system
  • Students can practice wheel & tire service
  • Students can practice brake caliper and rotor service
  • Students can practice rotor (T.I.R.) runout and thickness measurements
  • Students can practice brake condition inspection
  • The EM-130 trainer can be used for the instruction and practice of common MacPherson strut and rack & pinion steering service procedures, including:
    • rack removal and reinstallation, inner & outer tie rod service, and strut and ball joint service
    • the trainer allows superior component visualization and allows actual measurement of camber, caster, and SAI, using the included magnetic gauge. Students can easily make adjustments and view the results of the changes
    • students can also view the following alignment concepts on the trainer: SAI (Steering Axis Inclination), total included angle and side-to-side differences in caster, camber, and toe
