THRUST ALIGN PLATE 3" - Alemite

The Alemite 63030 THRUST ALIGN PLATE 3" is an essential professional-grade tool designed for automotive and industrial shops performing rear axle alignments on leaf spring-equipped vehicles. This alignment plate efficiently corrects setback and thrust angles at the axle-to-spring interface, ensuring the rear axle is precisely positioned relative to the vehicle's centerline. Technicians can restore proper straight-line tracking, predictable handling, and uniform tire wear using this specialized tool.

Key Features

• Precise Axle Geometry Correction: Addresses common issues like "dog tracking" and premature tire wear by accurately correcting rear axle setback and thrust angles, vital for vehicle stability and component longevity.
• Broad Leaf Spring Compatibility: Optimized for 3-inch wide leaf springs and also compatible with 3-1/2 inch and 3-5/8 inch springs, including common 80mm, 90mm, and 100mm metric equivalents found on light- and medium-duty trucks.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Manufactured by Alemite Specialty Products, this plate is built for rigorous, repeated use in demanding alignment bay environments, designed to withstand high clamping loads from U-bolts.
• Efficient Shop Integration: Features a straightforward installation process, typically requiring approximately 0.5 hours per axle, which helps minimize bay downtime and improve shop efficiency.
• Minor Ride Height Equalization: Provides approximately 1/2 inch of rear ride height adjustment, useful for fine-tuning side-to-side stance after repairs or component replacements.

Applications

This thrust align plate is indispensable for professional alignment and suspension shops. It is utilized to correct rear axle position on a wide range of leaf-sprung vehicles, including pickups, fleet trucks, and work vans. Common applications include post-collision damage repair, after spring or shackle replacement, and when diagnosing vehicle pull, dog tracking, off-center steering wheels, or accelerated tire wear caused by rear axle misalignment.
