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?

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.

hi Bruce and thank you for the vid.. how can it not matter @10:03 that the target is centered on the wheel? if the spokes are tapered and the target is below the 'centerline', would throw off the camber for example ? thanks again : )

99% in the cases they don go through this process...

show me how do you make alignment on mercedes metris thank you

how to do alignment on mercedes metris hunter alignment don't have specification

Are you in new jersey

what if the hunter machine doesn’t have a car’s dataset? does it still work?

Hi, great video.. Can you tell me how long it takes to do wheel alignment with that tool?

P r o m o s m 😋

A few lil tips. Start the car before depressing brake pedal and let the power brakes help you. Make sure the arms on the heads dont hit the lift when you roll the car for runout. If customer has sterring wheel cover then remove it before locking steering wheel. Check for worn steering parts and air psi beforehand

Thank you

21:55 🤣

Very helpful

👍👌👍👌👍👌👏👏

You gained a subscriber. Keep making how to videos. You are clearly knowledgeable and a great instructor. Keep making videos and eventually you'll gain a ton of followers/views and make it worth it. Don't give up if people aren't watching at first! Thanks again

Excellent video! I appreciate a clear and informative video! Helped me get my used alignment machine usable

Do you need a lift to use the alignment machine?

In a new car expensive, i will definitely not allow to use this metal pape inside expensive seat.

best alignment video in youtube thanks

Can you re print old alignments?

Good morning: How about doing a video of doing an alignment for an old pre 2008 Mercedes E class having a toe out value & shot camber reading?. Regards.
