The Hunter`s Hawkeye Elite wheel alignment system enable you to learn wheel alignment in the shortest amount of time as well as complete the job in the in the shortest amount of time. Take it from a old timer like me. This computerized machine is a blessing to the Automobile Industry. A BIG THUMB`S UP.
New Tire Tech...6months in and I am very impressed by the nature of this software.....very descriptive video on how to from beginning to end.....thx 4 sharing this video for my learning.
Thank you so much sir for your very comprehensive demonstration.
Best alignment machine 👌
Nice video, I wish they had vehicle specific video adjustments.
VERY EDUCATIVE, THANK YOU REGARDS
Very Nice. Could you also make a video or explain how to set the machine in degrees and decimals, and the toe in millimeter?
💪💪💪
Bout to save my company a trip.
Bel video....ma le chiedo un info nella procedura di compensazione il volante non necessita di essere bloccato?
no steering wheel lock or brake pedal depresser?
1 thing you should add is how to "start" the machine before driving on the vehicle
You just click begin alignment.....it's self explanatory
Front right side of car is 0.1 inch lower than the left side, is there a problem???
Hello. All measurements shown in the green colored numbers are good, according to the manufactures specifications, and all red colored measurements are out of the manufactures specifications, and and alignment procedure is recommended.
should you check the air pressure in the tires first?
Yes
Yep. And have the driver sit in the seat during procedure if they're obese, as embarrassing as that is.
2:38 I just got an alimnment at fountain tire from a hunter hawkeye and they did not do any rolling or jacking compesation, the machine allows you to continue modify and conduct misalignment potentially without a skilled member of hunters team to teach proper techniques.. Without rolling or jacking compesation stage the machine has no idea if the guide plates are on correct and is not calibrated to the machine and vehicle? the manager watched the video and confirmed no rolling or jacking compesation, the vehicle pulls right and requires constant corrections to left,
The tire shop that did my alignment pushed down on all four corners of the car.. i dont think you should do that. I guess hes purpose is to sattle the suspension. But it should be untouched as far as i know. You drive it on the machine and dont touch the suspension or body or nothing.
After the alignment my steering wheel turns a little bit to the right.. and if i drive the car and turn the steering wheel to center the car drives to the left a little bit.
What can have caused that?
When i drove there my steering wheel turned to the left so its the opposite.
Shouldnt the steering wheel be straight and centered as the technican set it to? He locked it center with some kind of device.
Steering wheel angle sensor can be calibrated in BCM but the software says that it should only be done if any components have been replaced.. like clock spring SWM, or brake module and such..
My technician at the dealer tells me that older cars as mine calibration is not needed. 2006
They may have been pushing down to settle the suspension it’s an older technique that isn’t often used anymore
Your steering wheel should be centered, when setting toe, he probably used a brake pedal depresser and a steering wheel lock, to keep the steering wheel straight the steering angle sensor usually dosent need adjustment or calibration but ESC often does
@@kris.michaels7631 booked an alignment today at another tire shop. I hope the will fix or correct the steering wheel issue at least. I've told them to check suspension and steering components as well since I have stability and steering issues.
It's a DSTC system
I'll let you know the results after today
@@kris.michaels7631 alignment are finished now.. Caster are way off. Diffs 1.5 degree. Toe was slightly off front and rear. But not much. Overall ok. But the big concern was the Caster diff front. He said that the lower control arms are the usual component especially when they're not same manufacture and replaced one at the time. 4 degree on the left and about 2 on the right.
He said it can be a tweaked subframe also.. who knows.
Steering wheel are straight now and that's good. :) he used a level at the steering wheel to achieve a more accurate reading.
@@orfeous good deal yeah, Caster is generally non adjustable on most passenger cars some exceptions apply to luxury cars, SUVs and trucks,
But with Caster you can get a pull, which like the tech said bent or worn components can cause caster misalignment,
Your car would pull to the least positive side for caster, you can compensate for it by adjusting the toe slightly, but it may increase tire wear.
If your not having any issues post second alignment I wouldn’t aggressively chase the caster issue
@@kris.michaels7631 thank you for your answers, opinions and expertise :)
