StraightTrak® Lateral Force Measurement

Tires are tagged and positioned on the vehicle to provide the least amount of vehicle pull and obtain the best straight-steering stability.

Solve Tire-Pull Problems With the Hunter VAS6230A That Alignment Service Can't Fix
Tire-related pulls are caused by lateral forces in the tires. Lateral force is the amount of left or right pull force created as the tire rolls along the road. This condition may cause a vehicle to steer away from straight ahead. These forces are primarily created by conicity and cannot be detected during standard balancing or alignment service.

Deliver the Ultimate in Customer Satisfaction
The StraightTrak® LFM feature measures lateral tire force during the VAS6230A’s Road Force Measurement® test. The VAS6230A then applies this lateral force information to the set of tires, providing the technician with optimal placement choices about the vehicle.

Pull or drift caused by the lateral forces can be systematically minimized, offset or eliminated
