Is that so? Neato! Tell me, does that machine have any kind of soft supports
or padding at the point of lifting? Why does it lift the car to do an
allignment? I would thin it changes the geometry of the chassis and give
false readings? That would explain my +2 degrees of chamber on my first
allignment! I do them myself now.....
