Alignment

[jp]

I have the specs from this forum. Someone I know reccomended an alignment shop locally. I went there and they use a brand new HUNTER machine. Of course the Zagato is not in the computer and the shop guy left a message asking Hunter to input the specs to download into the machine, as he cannot manually input

Should I skip this drama and go to another shop and have them align it with the specs I have?

Sounds like B.S. to me.It's probably their way of telling you to take a hike.Find another alignment shop.

that's what I am leaning towards- thanks Charlie

I just replaced a CV joint and both tie rod end busings and now it needs a majpr allingment

The phrase "brand new Hunter machine" leads me to believe that this guy simply doesn't know how to use all the functions on his brand new machine. (Seriously, what kind of machine doesn't allow a bypass for manual input?)

Either tell this guy RTFM, or find another shop.

Alignment specs are in the download section here J.P..
One can "fiddle" w/front Beta/Beta alignment [I think
toe-in/toe-out] for different handling characteristics.
Scorpion alignment is [purportedly] much more custom-
izable depending upon how you drive, what you want.

Thanks guys, I made an appointment with another shop for Thursday and I will bring the specs that I have from here. I have to say it has not been a good Lancia summer with the constant rain and issues with the Zagato. Hopefully I will be all sorted out and can have a decent August/September. Got an invite to the Tutto Italiano Autor show in Brookline MA.
