Steering and Suspension System Trainer
Build practical steering and suspension service skills using real automotive components in a dedicated hands-on training system. The Steering and Suspension System Trainer (764-01) gives students experience inspecting, removing, replacing, and servicing rack-and-pinion steering, power steering, MacPherson struts, coil springs, and suspension components.
The Steering and Suspension System Trainer (764-01) from LJ Create provides a working light-vehicle steering and suspension system for group or whole-class instruction. Real automotive components are mounted on a movable steel frame where students can clearly identify, inspect, and work with the individual parts of the system.
The trainer incorporates front-wheel assemblies, MacPherson strut and coil-spring assemblies, road wheels, and a power-steering rack. Students progress from identifying steering and suspension components to practical inspection, disassembly, adjustment, removal, replacement, and reassembly procedures using automotive workshop tools.
