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 Road Force® GSP9700's Road Force Measurement® test. The Road Force® GSP9700 then applies this lateral force information to the set of tires, providing the technician with optimal placement choices about the vehicle. |
