Challenger 10500SS Features
Stainless Steel Construction
The 10500SS turning radius gauges are manufactured from premium stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard powder-coated alternatives. This makes them ideal for shops in humid or high-moisture environments where longevity and consistent performance are critical.
3D Alignment System Compatible
These turn plates are fully compatible with modern 3D alignment systems, allowing your shop to perform precise wheel alignments using the latest technology. Pair them with a 3D alignment machine to deliver fast, accurate alignments that keep customers coming back.
Bolt-On Installation Design
The 10500SS installs as a bolt-on kit, meaning no welding or permanent modifications to your existing four post lift are required. This simplifies the upgrade process, reduces downtime, and preserves the integrity of your lift's structure.
Broad Lift Compatibility
Designed to work with a wide range of Challenger four post lifts including the 40 Series, 4P14 Series, 4115 Series, AR4115 Series, and 44018AR Alignment Racks. This versatility ensures you can upgrade your existing Challenger equipment without needing to replace your lift.
Precision Steering Angle Measurement
Turning radius gauges measure how many degrees the front wheels are turned left or right during an alignment. They are essential for accurately measuring caster, camber, and toe-out on turns, ensuring your alignments meet manufacturer specifications every time.
Revenue-Expanding Upgrade
By adding alignment capabilities to your existing general service four post lift, you can increase your shop's profitability without the cost of purchasing a dedicated alignment rack. Offer alignment services alongside your existing maintenance work to capture more revenue per bay.

What is the difference between the 10500SS and the 10500HD?
The 10500SS features stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance and durability, while the 10500HD uses a black powder coat finish. Both function identically as turning radius gauges, but the stainless steel version is better suited for shops in humid or high-moisture environments and offers a longer service life.
How do I install the 10500SS turning radius gauges?
The 10500SS uses a bolt-on installation design, meaning they attach directly to your compatible Challenger four post lift without welding or permanent modifications.

Do I need any additional parts to perform alignments?
Yes. In addition to the 10500SS turning radius gauges, you will need a compatible Challenger four post lift (if you do not already have one), a 3D alignment machine, and potentially a bolt-on alignment kit (Part #40200-3DSS) if converting a general service four post lift. Optional rear slip plates are also available to complement your alignment setup.
Can I use the 10500SS on non-Challenger lifts?

What are turning radius gauges used for?
Turning radius gauges measure how many degrees the front wheels are turned left or right during a wheel alignment. They are essential for accurately measuring caster, camber, and toe-out on turns, which are critical alignment angles specified by vehicle manufacturers. Without turn plates, these measurements cannot be performed accurately on a four post lift platform.
How do I maintain the stainless steel turning radius gauges?
Keep the turning plate surfaces clean and free of debris, grease, and brake dust to ensure accurate readings and smooth rotation. Periodically inspect the bolt-on mounting hardware for tightness and check the gauge surfaces for any damage or excessive wear. Stainless steel construction minimizes corrosion concerns, but regular cleaning will keep the gauges performing at their best.
