We have this Hunter machine at work that you ride up on and stop and it will test your brakes, suspension, and alignment, and all that good stuff and give you your weight and all that stuff.



This is the print out it gives you...



Another guy at work did his Paseo at the same time and his results showed the wear of his suspension but you can see how mine is dead on how it should be which made me pretty happy.

It also told me my cars weight with me in it was 2260lbs total, and 1363 over the front axle and 897 over the rear. Thanks to the formula given to me here you can figure out my weight balance is 60/40. That is very good for a FWD isn't it? My car wasn't as light as I hoped it was but all the results this gave me I was very happy with otherwise.

Other stuff it tells you is my estimated wheelbase was 93'' however the real number is 97'', so its not far off. My center of gravity height is at 21.6, not really sure how good that is compared to other cars thought, but I would guess it's pretty good.

 

wow, that looks like a pretty sweet piece of machinery

and expensive toy, i mean diagnostic tool

 

WOW! I work with a turner/hobby shop for a living, and I've never seen anything like that before! I wonder where one is in my area.. whats the name of that machine?

PS. I'm pretty sure cross wieghts are more important with regards to handling than F/R wieght ratio

 

On the site it calls it the Hunter B400 inspection lane.

 

where's the printout?

 

I was lucky enough to get to tour a Hunter facility that had that exact same machine. A nice piece that tells alot about susp/brake system condition.
