At Hunter Engineering, the theme behind all their products is do it right, do it once. So when you’re doing alignments, the time to find hidden damage is before you start, not after. The workflow for Hunter’s Collision Alignment System surfaces the trouble right up front by providing five additional collision-specific measurements, like toe out on turn, maximum steer and ride height, to find the problems right away. It’s all about efficiency, so find the damage before it finds you.
