Today’s vehicles are ultra-sensitive to road feel and potential vibration.
Many owners of today’s expensive vehicles have higher expectations. The
dealer performing tire service must deliver perfection........
The GSP 9700 extends far beyond the traditional functions of a wheel balancer
and "road tests" the wheel before it's placed on the vehicle to eliminate
vibration problems and comebacks. It addresses wheel balance and also NON-wheel
balance related vibration issues of the tire and wheel.
Hunter's exclusive Road Force Measurement™ System utilizes a "road roller"
to measure non-uniformities of the wheel and tire, simulating a road test
and verifying if the assembly is "round when rolling."
The GSP 9700 uniquely identifies and locates tire and wheel non-uniformity
problems caused by (1) stiffer or weaker areas of the tire under load, (2)
runout in the wheel and (3) the random position between the two when mounted.
These items may potentially cause vibration that a traditional wheel balancer
can not address.
The GSP 9700 ForceMatching procedure duplicates the cancellation of the tire
force's stiffest spot with the wheel's lowest spot previously capable only at new
vehicle manufacturers to ensure a vibration free ride. Using this equipment in a tire
service shop now allows a technician to restore that "new car ride".
