The American Council of Frame and Alignment Specialists (ACOFAS) is sponsoring its latest technician training clinic, “Recreational Vehicle Steering and Handling Enhancements,” in Elk River, Minn., March 28 and 29, 2007.

The clinic is being hosted by Dick and Nancy Lorntson, with the assistance of technicians of Precision Frame and Alignment. As in previous ACOFAS technician training clinics, this will be a two-day program. Wednesday morning will feature speakers from Freightliner, Ford and Workhorse who will address their products and suspensions. Later in the morning there will be demonstrations on products that include Koni, Billstein, SuperSteer, Davis TruTrac, Roadmaster, Safe-T-Plus and others.
The afternoon and Thursday sessions will involve the proper application, installation and testing of the enhancement products. Wednesday evening will include a trip to Flier Coach Builders for a tour of the manufacturing plant and dinner.
ACOFAS is offering this training opportunity to all technicians and members of SSA, THECC, and HDDA. The cost of the training clinic is $150 for all ACOFAS members and their employees; $200 for all SSA, THECC, and HDDA, members and their employees; and all others are $300. Space is limited to 36 technicians.
Previous training clinics have featured total chassis alignment, axle straightening, power steering diagnostics, frame diagnostics and straightening. These clinics have incorporated both classroom and in-shop, hands-on demonstrations.
All participants will receive access to the ACOFAS forum after completing the course. This forum makes all the latest technology available to the technician and also keeps an ongoing dialog between the participants of this and past training clinics regarding problems and experiences.
