Hunter's GSP9700 StraightTrak® LFM Feature Eliminates Tire-Related Drift Complaints and Pull Problems

Tire-related pulls and drifts caused by lateral forces in tires are primarily the result of tire conicity. Tire conicity is an elusive and unmeasurable problem that has a huge effect on the straight-ahead steering ability of vehicles, producing pulls and drifts even after a proper alignment. While technicians can verify the existence of conicity problems with road tests, finding the best placement of the tires on the vehicle to correct a pull is a guessing game. Until now…

The StraightTrak LFM feature of the GSP9700 Road Force Measurement® System not only finds the hidden problems that cause pulls and drifts, but also presents a tire placement plan based on the amount and direction of conicity of each tire relative to the other tires and the vehicle's four-wheel alignment, all without performing repeated, time-consuming road tests.

The versatility of StraightTrak enables a technician to integrate this valuable information into tire mounting and balancing processes, tire rotations, and alignment service. StraightTrak is a service necessity to address the tire-related pull problems that wheel alignments alone will not solve. StraightTrak also saves time and increases profitability by providing a quick solution to frustrating handling problems.

The GSP9700 Road Force Measurement System is used by automobile and tire manufacturers and is approved for their dealer equipment programs and recommended by their service bulletins.

Hunter Engineering is a world leader in wheel alignment, brake service, wheel service and safety inspection lane equipment. Hunter equipment is approved and used by vehicle manufacturers, automobile and truck dealers, tire dealers and automotive service facilities around the world.
