Alignment Training Aids

The Automotive Reactive Curriculum, Alignment Training Aid, model F1, offers a physical, mechanical and exaggerated explanation for theoretical alignment angles. Don’t rely on forgettable rules of thumb anymore. See how angles affect each other, feel the physics that castor and SAI have on steering wheel returnability, see how thrust angle directly affects front toe bar graphs, manipulate cross caster and cross camber misalignments to cause a pull in seconds, all without tools! The A.R.C. F1 teaches the HOW and WHY, not just the “what”. With nearly 30° of adjustment it’s easy to see “camber roll on turns” and how camber will wear tires. Will toe cause a pull? Try it! How does thrust angle cause dog tracking? Try it! What angles cause a crooked steering wheel? Try it! Bug the car and let your students figure out how to fix it in minutes. No more groups of students waiting around for the first group to finish. Add enthusiasm to a boring classroom lecture!
