BuyPirelli Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hey all, I would never use anything other than a Hunter device or similar for wheel alignment, however a well known and very reputable tuner is now offering "4 wheel laser alignment" for £95 using "Motorsport Spec" equipment. They claim to align: Front wheel toe, caster & camber Rear wheel toe & camber It looks like a fancy version of what you'd find at a tyre garage for £15. My question to you, is this proper alignment or not? I can't see how it is as they are not doing it to a specifiction, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Without knowing exactly what make the machine is it's hard to comment. some places will measure the chassis and adjust the toe for as little as £15, any other adjustments will cost extra.

BuyPirelli Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 It's not a machine Tony, it's just a little laser arm that dangles off the wheel and is 'Motorsport specification'. It's not like a hunter that shines lasers onto four discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Laser is linear so can only measure longditudional angles not increments of arc.Trackside imaging measuring equipment tends to be "make do" rather than the domestic matter of fact realm that i live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
