An improved turntable, adapted to detect, correct and/or adjust wheel alignment of a vehicle, includes a fixed base to be positioned on a surface; a movable assembly, mounted onto the fixed base so as to rotate and translate with respect thereto and having an upper plate that receives and supports a wheel and a lower disk integral with the upper plate; a locking mechanism associated with the fixed base, which interacts with the lower disk of the movable assembly; an actuator that causes the locking mechanism to pass from a first condition, in which the mechanism limits and counters translations of the lower disk in a lying plane while allowing rotations of the disk about an axis perpendicular to the lying plane, to a second condition, in which the mechanism allows free translations of the lower disk in its lying plane and free rotations of the disk about such axis.
