ABSTRACT:
A radius turntable gauge for facilitating front end alignment of motor vehicles has a supporting frame on which a turntable assembly is suspended so as to position a rotatable turntable for receiving a wheel of a vehicle being aligned. The turntable assembly includes a platform suspended directly from the supporting frame of the device, with the turnplate being rotatably journaled on the platform. A pointer mounted on the platform is arranged extending beyond and partially above the turnplate, with indicia being provided on an upwardly facing surface of the turnplate adjacent the pointer for indicating angular measurements in cooperation with the pointer. The turntables are generally employed in pairs with each turntable receiving a respective one of the front wheels of a motor vehicle to be aligned, and suitable brackets are provided on the supporting frame of each turntable for removably receiving a respective end of a longitudinally extending toe-in gauge rod so as to permit the difference between pointers provided on the rod to be measured for the front and rear of the associated wheels and permit the toe-in of the wheels to be readily determined.
