Gunson's Trakrite Wheel Alignment Gauge is the simplest, most accurate device for checking the alignment of the steered wheels of cars and light commercials.
It is a roller bearing platform over which one front wheel is slowly driven with the wheels in their straight ahead position.
The wheel alignment gauge is used to make a quick and easy check of a vehicle's wheel alignment (toe-out or toe-in).
It facilitates the correct setting of adjustable wheels.
It has a top plate which is mounted on rollers so that it is free to move sideways.
As the wheel is driven over, any misalignment causes the plate to be pushed sideways.
An internal linkage mechanism and pointer indicates on a scale the total movement of the plate, and hence the amount of misalignment.
After use, the pointer is re-set to the central position by the user.
The scale is calibrated to show the ERROR in degrees toe-in or toe-out.
NB: it indicates MISALIGNMENT, that is, if NO deflection of the pointer takes place,
then the wheels are correctly aligned and require no adjustment.
Test the gauge for freedom of movement of the top plate. To do this place it on a flat surface and ensure that the top plate moves freely from side to side.
Carry out the wheel alignment tests on flat and level ground, preferably a clean concrete or smooth flat asphalt surface


Important Notes:
- please read before continuing
If the pointer consistently moves to the "RED" area of the dial, then adjustment of the track rods is necessary. This applies to all vehicles regardless of type of tyre fitted, or whether any modification has been made to the suspension. More than one adjustment may be necessary to establish a zero reading.
If the reading from one front wheel consistently differs with the reading from the other front wheel, the possible causes are:
?
Tests carried out on non-level floor.
?
Unequal tyre pressures.
?
Unequal tyre wear or tread patterns.
?
Worn steering joints.
?
Rear wheel/axle misalignment.
If inconsistent readings are obtained on the same wheel, the possible causes are:
?
Uneven floor.
?
Steering wheel moved during test.
?
Jerky forward speed.
?
Not enough forward travel before meeting the gauge.
?
Not "settling" the suspension before the tests.
?
Allowing the vehicle to roll back during the test.
?
Excessive wear in steering and wheel components.
?
Excessive and uneven tyre wear
