So, the question is… what is the essential equipment required when starting your own fitment center?
You will need a trolley jack and trestles to get the tyres off the vehicle first.
Also handy in taking tyres off the vehicle is a low-level lift.
How will you take the lug nuts off you ask, why not use an ½” impact wrench to save on time and manual labour.
Then required to strip the tyre from the rim is a tyre changer, and off course tyres needs to be balanced in order for the tyres to roll smoothly.
Don’t forget about wheel alignment, so tyres can perform properly and to help them last longer.
If you do wheel alignment work, you need an alignment lift for raising vehicles off the ground.
Turn plates are used to check toe-out and caster when the wheels are steered to either side.
Slip plates are necessary with independent rear suspensions so the suspension can settle to its normal ride height.
