THe alignment is MORE accurate from the factory as we have a $750,000.00 USD
machine which allows us to do the alignment. It is calibrated at the start
of each shift.

Harry,

I work at the a car factory and we can 4 wheel align a car in under 45
seconds with our ultrasonic alignment equipment. We have found the
ultrasonic system is more reliable than a laser system in high humidity
and
heat environments such as a non air conditioned assembly plant. The
laser
wavelength tends to become distorted in high heat humidity conditions.
Which
causes the cameras to have difficulty reading the tire location
properly.

I've heard that you can get a brand new car and the alignment will be
off, because they don't align every car that comes off the assembly
line. Is that true where you work?



Fredo,
Do you think the cars are as accurately aligned as when you have them
aligned at the dealer? Or do they just get them close enough for
government work?
