these Sockets Prevent Unnecessary Over tightening (or Under tightening)
of Lug nuts.
We now offer
computerized wheel alignment
for your car, van, or truck with a Hunter Model 611 - the latest in automotive
alignment technology. This is one of the newest (and most sophisticated)
alignment machines in the tri-state area and provides printouts of before
and after measurements taken from your vehicle. Many other shops
"align" vehicles by adjusting toe only. Such a procedure is often
nicknamed a "toe-and-go alignment" and is not a true alignment. Here,
we check and
adjust
camber, caster, and toe if possible.
Thereby, your vehicle is adjusted to the best possible specifications given
by the vehicle manufacturer.
* For
vehicles with non-adjustable rear suspensions,
thrust angle alignments are performed. During such a procedure, after
angle readings are measured at all four wheels and the steering wheel is
centered, the front wheels are referenced to the rear thrust line and set
to specifications. Result: all four wheels are parallel and
the steering wheel is centered.
* For
vehicles with adjustable rear suspensions,
4
Wheel (total) alignments are performed. During this alignment, after
angle readings are measured at all four wheels, the rear wheels are
set to specification. (Rear thrust line corresponds to vehicle centerline.)
Next, the steering wheel is centered. Finally, the front wheels are
referenced to the rear thrust line and set to specifications. Result:
all four wheels are positioned straight ahead and parallel, and the steering
wheel is centered.
