WHEEL ADAPTER
A wheel adapter for fastening on a wheel, in particular on a wheel of a motor vehicle, includes at least two arms which extend in a radial direction starting from a central area of the wheel adapter Each of the arms includes at least one movable element which is movable in the radial direction in order to vary the length of the arm in the radial direction. The movable elements of at least two arms are mechanically coupled to one another in such a way that a movement of one movable element of a first arm results in a corresponding movement of a least one movable element of a second arm.
Vehicle suspension system bracket pocket dimensional verifier tools and methods of use
Methods to use a tool for dimensional verification of a vehicle frame suspension system bracket pocket having first and second cam slots, the tool including a first sub-assembly configured for insertion through and registration of the first cam slot; a second sub-assembly configured for insertion through and registration of the second cam slot; and an intermediate sub-assembly disposed between and attachable to the first and second sub-assemblies via a shaft, the intermediate sub-assembly including an extension rod receiving feature defining at least one extension rod receiving aperture; wherein the sub-assemblies lock against the bracket walls to define a horizontal center axis and are adjustable to determine and register a center point along an intersecting vertical center axis between the first and second cam slots that is alignable with the at least one extension rod receiving aperture.
Alignment Target and Four-Wheel Alignment System
An alignment target includes: a target plate, the target plate being provided with a position indication pattern configured for indicating position information of the alignment target; a flexible protective member, the flexible protective member being arranged around the periphery of the target plate; and a housing, the housing comprising a main body portion and a frame arranged around the periphery of the main body portion, the frame enclosing an accommodating space, the target plate and the flexible protective member being disposed in the accommodating space, the flexible protective member being located between the target plate and the housing, and configured for buffering an interaction force between the housing and target plate.
