Know anything about Hunter Alignment Machines?

[Black Cobra]

Carried the car in Monday to get the alignment checked because it has a slight pull to the right. The service manager said that they didn't have the specs for the 2003 Cobra yet and that it would be at least a week before they could get them downloaded from Hunter.

Called SVT and they said that the specs have been available for some time and could be gotten from the Tech Hotline over the phone in minutes. SVT also thought that the dealer should be able to do the alignment. Even if they had to do it "the old way".

Question, Without the specifications being downloaded to the Hunter Alignment Machine, what are the options? Can the specs be entered manually? Can the machine be used to perform an alignment "the old way"?

Yes the specs can be entered manually and the Tech could have called SVT to get them. Sounds like he just did not want to do that. Even the service advisor could have gotten the specs to give to the tech.

Thanks.

Called and talked with one of the owners about the problem I was having and he said he'd get right on it and to call the service mgr. back in an hour. Fixing to make that call now. Wanted to see what some of you guys had to say first.
