I am planning on making more of the GMC alignment kits next week. The complete kit with everything necessary to measure the front and rear alignment on your coach is $400 plus shipping (camber, caster, total toe and frame parallelism on the front and camber and frame parallelism on the rear). Given the interest in the all steel, go/no-go ride heigh gauge by itself I will also be offering those for $25 plus shipping. If you are interested in the complete kit or just the ride height gauge either for your own use and/or to donate to your GMC club, please let me know by Friday of this week so I can get the right number of components ordered. PM to glwork@mac.com. Thanks.
The complete kit includes:
two all steel four point stand off fixtures designed to fit the 16" Alcoa aluminum wheels each with a calibrated laser gun site mounted on the lower arm and fixed bungie cords to hold them onto the wheel. The stand off pins are nylon tipped to avoid scratching your wheels. The lower arms are long enough to clear your tires front and rear allowing you to quickly measure total toe on the front wheels.
two all steel turn plates with zero, 20 degree plus and 20 degree minus indicators and a dry erase marker pen that are thin enough for you to roll your coach onto the plates without jacking it up. These are necessary for calculating front wheel caster angles.
one all steel go/no-go ride height gauge to easily measure factory spec. ride heigh both front and rear.
two all steel laser target standoff arms which magnetically attach to your frame.
one wooden laser target with scribed lines front and back and indicator numbers for reference. The calibrated laser mounted on the lower arms of the stand off fixtures used in conjunction with the magnetic laser standoff arms and this laser target will allow you to accurately determine when your front wheels are parallel with the frame and whether or not your four rear bogies are holding the rear tires parallel with the frame.
one magnetically attached Wiley digital angle meter used to measure camber and caster on the front wheels and camber on the rears. It has a zero function so you can compensate for out of level parking surfaces.
