Tony Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 All Geometry machines need basic information so that the cameras know where they are in space. They need :Wheel size :Wheel base :Wheel track :Wheel width With this information they have "eyes". I measured the Supra today that was set by a well known company a few thousand miles ago trashing the front tyres? Once measured the reason was plain to see. They didn't tell the machine the Supra had 8" wide front wheels and 9.5" wide rears. So the cameras measured the discrepancy as a toe problem which the said company corrected.... Consequence the front toe was set 0 but in reality was -12mm hence the rapid tyre wear... As always the error left the owner paying the bill.......

Tony Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 that's the problem with technology.... it's only as good as the guy operating it Never a truer word said. I have been disappointed recently by companies i previously respected letting slip like this example.... The cost to this innocent owner was over £500.

Adie Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Tony - do you have the measurements for a Supra? 2 of my mates are looking to get theirs done soon but unfortunately are probably too low for your equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Tony - do you have the measurements for a Supra? 2 of my mates are looking to get theirs done soon but unfortunately are probably too low for your equipment My data bank holds 2500 cars. And as you know i am restricted by the body height for the cameras to fit the modified car. The wim standard machine is the Arago 3D visualiner.... And has a data bank of 25000 cars with live online up-dates. This machine is available for service at tdi south at the same cost as wim central. On this machine "height" is not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
