I dont think you can manually enter the values on a hunter machine printout. The problem is not that they lie about the #s they just get lazy and say they cant do this or they cant do that.
I paid for a regular warrentable alignment once but had them put the numbers as far negative as they could with still keeping it in the green (on the spec printout page)
They agreed to do that. Santa cruz wheel works.
But the custom alignment they gave me was 130. Was a really good alugnment. They got me to almost 0 toe and -2.2 up front and -1.4 in the rear. Both sides were almost even. Best handling ever on the street with no negative side effects.

I'll still take your money your not operating the machine and none of their **** is calibrated worth a damn!

By law it needs to be calibrated. So if thats the case ill be getting free alignments for life lol

Edit: not by law sorry i was thinking of radar guns and certain scales.
This is just a regulatory requirement and the shop should have certifications.
If they dont or do not provide upon asking then go somewhere else.
That will keep the honest people honest.

Its a good deal if you know someone at the shop. I have a buddy who works there so I text him what specs I want.

Dude it's a story. You take it with a "grain of salt." I wasn't being specific cuz there is no need to be. Just take it as they are picky about letting you do special request for "legal issues" even tho one manager said he would "take care of me" and fix it. While at any old shop, if you had a long relationship with the employees/owner, they would have just done it, and not raised a stink.

And sorry if I need to clarify since yes I guess you are off your rocker (first you say the rear bolts are "non existent" then next sentence you admit there are bolts, but now they are "non eccentric" but you know there are more than just two bolts in the rear, how do you think the rear is adjusted?!) I am taking about the oem alignment washers under the bolts that hold the lateral links to the rear subframe. And "not moving" as in seized. Geez. Do I have to explain suck.squeeze.bang.blow to you too? See when you are so close minded you take every word literally, it's a story, just assume you know what I mean and just grasp the meaning behind the story. Sounds like you didn't even want to learn the meaning, just wanted to call me out and complain.

I met someone who worked at the Fremont Firestone who was on here, you know what he said? "Don't go there."

When I was looking into the lifetime alignment I asked about custom settings. They told me most places would be happy to do any spec possible. I asked "what if I add some aftermatket suspension components to get more adjustabilitu?"

They said I could get an exotic lifetime alignment for $50 more and add any aftermarket stuff unwanted.

That being said, I went to custom alignment than to Adambomb when he was at Edege Motorworks.

You didnt day anything Bout lateral link bolts. I assumed you were talking Bout the camber adjustment in the rear.
Which i am correct is non existant.
There are two bolts on the strut but they dont adjust anything. Just the front had 1 eccentric bolt in the top strut hole.

Thats what i was getting at killer.

You left out the important part of what part of the rear you were talking Bout.
Ive had people tell me theres no way to adjust anything in the back which i just laugh at.....

Sorry i didnt understand your huge run on sentence.

And how about that suck,squeeze, blow and bang.......
Dont offer unless you are willing to pony up the pennies soldier........
