We'll come ❤❤❤❤pless hellp me alignment and whell balance

Hello Bruce , thank you for the video. i have a strange but important question. hope you can answer… I had an aligment after a coilovers installment. But when i came home i noticed that a few wheel bolts where NOT thight and fully tighten up :( i dubbel checked the garage because i wanted to make sure ) question: is the alignment still correct? even though. the wheels where not compleetly tight up . ( 1 wheel only 2 where tight and 3 where not ) other wheel had still some bolt turns too… thank you

Will a hunter machine tell you if the car has bent parts? Or frame? My 2017 civic was hit in driver side rim, fender, door. Truck was going about 20 km/h. Civic was fixed and alignment done. The car still pulls to the right. With no caster adjustment on this vehicle, would a hunter machine still check for caster correctness? How do you adjust caster on a vehicle with no caster adjustment?

I just had a guy from Discount Tire raise the lift jack up from the middle of the machine so that he can elevate the vehicle and adjust the lower control arm bolts (camber bolts) on my 2014 Expedition. He seemed like he tightened it at least half the total torque (258 foot pounds) while the vehicle was still raised. Then when he lowered the vehicle on its own weight he torqued everything. But shouldn’t he have only tightened those bolts enough to hold the aligned position while the vehicle gets lowered before snuggling and torquing the bolts? I mean the Ford shop manual says “finger tight” then lower the vehicle, snug and torque everything so that there’s no damage to the bushings. Now I’m afraid he screwed it all up and I’ll have premature bushing failure soon down the road. No pun intended.

Bro instead of going through the settings to select the model and years just scan the Vin it read automatically.! And instead of placing the tire at the top of the tire machine to remove the tire just break the tire beade close to the valve stem but not directly at the value stem and keep it pressed you will have enough space to remove and install the new sensor!😒

I realize this is for professionals, but would love to see you align with the string method and with a cheap camber/caster gauge to see how close you can get it.

what kind of witch craft is this

È difficile fare la convergenza ad una Subaru XV del 2016?

Come mi reputano HUNTER X HUNTER nell'allineamento auto che utilizza abitualmente i macchinari Hunter, ho notato diversi errori critici. Prima di eseguire la convergenza, controllo sempre l'auto con il macchinario Check, e per questo alcuni aspetti del video non mi sono sembrati adeguati. Ho interrotto la visione dopo 8 minuti. Il primo errore che ho notato è stato il pneumatico visibilmente a bassa pressione, probabilmente sotto i 2 bar. Prima di iniziare qualsiasi allineamento, è fondamentale controllare la pressione di tutti i pneumatici, idealmente a 2.5 bar a freddo. Una pressione bassa potrebbe indicare una perdita o un foro, e va esaminata prima di procedere. Anche il battistrada deve essere controllato attentamente, poiché l'usura irregolare può influenzare negativamente l'allineamento. Non ho visto un controllo visibile sugli ammortizzatori, nonostante il posteriore dell'auto apparisse più basso rispetto all'anteriore. Inoltre, il posizionamento dei cunei di sicurezza è stato un errore: sono stati messi sul lato destro, mentre dovrebbero essere posti sul lato sinistro. Questo è importante per garantire maggiore sicurezza e facilitare la rimozione a fine lavoro. Dopo aver messo il fermo sul pedale dei freni, il processo di rimozione dei cunei diventa molto più semplice e veloce. Ottimizzare questi passaggi permette di risparmiare tempo, e un risparmio di 5 minuti per ogni lavoro durante la giornata offre la possibilità di inserire un'altra vettura. Questo influisce positivamente sul numero di interventi giornalieri e, di conseguenza, sugli incassi. Nonostante io utilizzi i macchinari Hunter, so che la loro efficacia dipende dal seguire scrupolosamente le procedure manuali. Non ci si può affidare solo ai sensori e ai valori forniti dal macchinario: è fondamentale effettuare controlli manuali per garantire precisione, sia nella campanatura che nella convergenza anteriore e posteriore. Infine, per un'auto come la Toyota ibrida, è necessario considerare misure specifiche, poiché differisce dai modelli tradizionali.

Nice class

Clumsy oaf will damage the alloys.

I have a 72 chevelle and when i hit the gas it swings and feels like all the tires are going everywhere , do i need adjustable controls arms ? I was told these cars are hard to align , is that true ? Any info or help is appreicated,and would this fix the issue or do i need to adjust , arms or springs ? Im green im sorry ,and the steering has alot of play, and would this work for all cars and okd schools ? 😅

I have no idea how I ended up here but watched the entire vid 😂😂😂😂 now I need to adjust a car alignment

तांत्रिक माहिती व्यवस्थित समजावून सांगितले. धन्यवाद.

Thank you very much

wow that was VERY informative! Everything affects everything bottomline.

He does it different than everyone else, watched several videos on this

Hi my winaliginment machine froze any tips please

Probably need to watch scannerdanner on removing manifold gauge. Probably leaving an ounce of freon in gauges that should be in system.

Should the key be off or should it be slightly turned on so steering wheel isn’t locked?

Can you set this machine up if a car has been lowered and if so how do you do that as I have a machine in my work but not sure if you can set it up for a lowered car

Thank u sir to ur briefly explanation.

So in this example, since there is no camber or caster adjustment and only toe, a customer is charged $129.00 for a mechanic to loosen a nut, then turn the spindle to the tie rod a few times, and then retighten the nut. What a racket $$$.

This is a well articulated lecture on a PA200 Wheel Alignment Machine. I once used a Microline PC 3000 Machine, Hunter D1111 Machine and Hunter PA100 Machine. Currently I am using the PA200 Hunter Aligner. Thank you, Sir for the lecture.

I'm looking into purchasing one of these machines- would you possibly be able to tell me the exact model number of the lift & the computer system used in this video?

This is exactly my car. Spooky. 😂

so many shops are unable to do this job. If the mechanic locks the steering wheel wrongly all is going to be messed up. Is there supposed to be a level?

Thank you for your quick video. I've repaired many many vehicles , dealing with Electronics, Mechanics. You have made it very clear, basically any one piston and its companion piston are always 360 degrees difference in rotation, Thank You !!

@15:44 That ride height measurement is wrong and shouldn't be used. Ride Height should be measured from the middle of the front lower control arm bolt attached to the frame/subframe to the ground/lift and from the lowest point of the wheel spindle to the ground/lift. Then subtract the two numbers and you will get your ride height. The vehicles workshop manual will tell you what the correct ride height should be with new/old parts on the vehicle. The ride height should be checked and fixed and entered into the machine correctly before the alignment is done as it will effect the alignment if the ride height is adjusted/fixed afterwards. Measuring the ride height as shown in the video can give bad measurements because the body could be damaged. Always check ride height via the vehicles workshop service manual instructions. And is should be explained to the customer that if there is something that needs to be fixed that will effect ride height, that they should have it done before the alignment to save them $ on having the alignment done again after it is fixed.

is the caster unadjustable for all cars?

Robert Szabo

Left rear tire seemed a bit flat? maybe that just me

Exellen explanation 😊 thank you

Has hunter never designed a machine where you don't have to move the car after it's racked? At my old job we would just roll them by hand but it's annoying as shit

Shift the subframe. It will fix caster.

i done without nothing no measurement just guess it’s works buts it never perfectly correct

Please,can you take someone on apprenticeship?

Thx

40 minutes for one screw? Could you atleast weld it stuck once you're done adjusting?

2 bolts

When the camber is out of adjustment on a car that they say is non-adjustable. Take the through bolt out that holds the strut to the knuckle and use an air tool with a rotary file to open up the holes in the strut so you have some movement. Be careful not to open up the hole in the aluminum or steel steering knuckle. Loosen the bottom bolt, then you have enough movement so you can adjust the camber. If you are in a hurry and only interested in making money because you are working by the job, then you might want to forget about it and run the car outside. Another thing is when you are finished with adjustments, you could move the car around a little on the turn plates and recheck the adjustments. Just doing that might relieve enough stress on the suspension to show a need to fine-tune the adjustments.

I took my Stinger gt in just because it's been over a year and had new winter tires put on, so figured just get it done, but more car was not pulling left or right and holding the wheel center was fine. After the alignment I have to hold a wee bit left to go straight, or it would pull to the right. I take it back 2 days later, didn't drive it the one day, and they re-do it and its tiny bit better, but still not straight. He showed me the toe is 0 and my rear are in the green, and my front, both camber are just in the red both -1.2 and -1.1 for the right side. but they weren't perfect in the last alignment, but it still rode straight before i brought it in. I'm gonna take it back one more time and see if they'll get it right, or ask for my money back and take it elsewhere. Oh, I don't recall if I saw if he put the brake thing or the steering wheel lock support when he was doing the alignment. if he didn't, I assume this would cause it to be off a bit ?

That tie rod technique is fantastic! *rust enters the chat*

Вы упомянули корректировку рулевой рейки с помощью диагностического оборудования , но не показали это. Интересно было бы посмотреть на этот процесс. Еще интересует момент, если в базе отсутствуют допуски на конкретный автомобиль, если какая-то новая модель. Оборудование позволяет проводить регулировку? П.с. Спасибо за отличное видео)

So just about every time I do an alignment, i do it step by step like in this video. Including the caster sweep after adjusting the rear. But I seem to have the steering off the the left about 11 o’clock. I have the steering wheel locked with the tool. And still the same. A coworker showed me Win Toe and did not use the hold down tool for the steering wheel and seemed to get it straight. I tried and the same result as before. Maybe the way I tighten down the jam nut. When I tighten down the nut I usually have it almost tight but loose enough to make adjustment, then hold the outer tie rod and snug it down. Any tips on keeping the steering wheel straight? I’d like to have my alignments done the first time and not have to roll it back and recheck/ pull it back onto the rack😅

In most cases, customers will think that performing an alignment makes the car go straight regardless if they have caster issues or not. At the end of the day, the customer is paying to make the car drive straight, and , in most cases, won't understand what's happening. I've had a lot of cases where everything is in the green, Steer Ahead is 0, Thrust angle is 0, and it still pulls left or right. Is there a formula for to adjustments to compensate for the difference in caster to make the vehicle drive straight nonetheless?

Could you find out the model number of your hunter machine?

Thank you sir I am from India

Since the liquid going in is what pushes the old liquid out, I would recommend first filling the machine with water so water is pushed through the system. Then you can disconnect the machine, disassemble the parts, and only water is spilling out on the ground. After that you can push new coolant in.

Can the coolant be recovered without adding new coolant so I can make any repairs to vehicle ie.water pump etc.
