Inspection Lane

SA400 Suspension Analyzer
Eliminate Subjective Suspension Checks The SA400 provides a quick, objective inspection of all four corners of a vehicle’s suspension. Unlike a bounce test, each corner is tested independently to provide a safety check for: Adhesion† Is the tire in proper contact with the road? Can you steer and brake effectively? Very low adhesion levels indicate a safety problem and can result in tire cupping. Damping Hunter’s patented SA400 Damping Measurement System analyzes the ability of the shock to control excessive suspension and body motion. B414-02-GLV Inspection Lane configuration with WI132 console. Increase Suspension Service Revenue An average of 8% of vehicles tested show suspension failure at one or more wheels. Typically shock/strut service represents $130.00 in service revenue. NOTICE: Product delivered to international markets may differ slightly in content to domestic product. Please consult your local distributor for details.		This example shows side-to-side imbalance, indicating that something is wrong on at least one side of the vehicle. The technician should check components for a possible shock or strut replacement. If damping and adhesion are balanced side-to-side, the display includes individual evaluations of damping and adhesion for left and right wheels. Test Recommends Shock/Strut Upgrades The SA400 displays go beyond pass or fail recommendations. For this vehicle, damping is “Soft”. With this information, the technician can discuss the customer’s desired ride characteristics. If the customer wants a “Normal” or “Firm” ride, this customer should consider a shock or strut upgrade.

† Adhesion was defined and standardized by EUSAMA, the European Shock Absorber Manufacturer Association.
