SureAlign · Technical library
One feature. One clear explanation.
Explore SureAlign measurement routines, runout methods, alignment analysis, adjustment tools, reporting, databases and workshop integration.
How to use this guide
Purpose, operation, use case and limitations.
Each explanation follows the same practical structure: what the function is for, how it works in the alignment workflow, when a technician would use it and what configuration must be confirmed.
A higher software version number does not by itself indicate a better alignment machine. Hardware, options, vehicle data, licences and regional configuration also determine capability.

Measurement
Standard Measurement
Provide the complete guided workflow for a normal four-wheel alignment service.
View feature →MeasurementQuick Measurement
Measure and adjust camber and toe without requiring a caster sweep.
View feature →MeasurementPrecision Measurement
Add a verification measurement after adjustment to document the completed alignment.
View feature →MeasurementLift Levelness
Establish a calibrated reference plane so lift or floor slope does not become part of the alignment reading.
View feature →MeasurementSpatial Dynamic
Maintain the calibrated measurement reference while the vehicle rolls or the lift structure changes slightly under load.
View feature →MeasurementCaster Sweep Options
Match the caster sweep range and movement style to the vehicle, bay and required verification level.
View feature →MeasurementHub Align
Measure from the wheel-hub reference when the rim or normal target mounting would compromise diagnostic work.
View feature →Feature group
Runout Compensation
Standard Runout Compensation
Compensate for wheel, clamp and target mounting variation before alignment measurement.
View feature →Runout CompensationRaised Runout Compensation
Complete runout compensation with the wheels raised when rolling the vehicle is not practical.
View feature →Runout CompensationSplit Runout Compensation
Complete compensation in separate steps when all wheels cannot be moved through one continuous procedure.
View feature →Runout CompensationForward Runout Compensation
Perform compensation by rolling the vehicle forward through the required distance.
View feature →Runout CompensationBackward Runout Compensation
Perform compensation by rolling the vehicle backward through the required distance.
View feature →Runout CompensationRapid Roll Compensation
Reduce compensation time by using a shorter guided vehicle movement where supported.
View feature →Runout CompensationAudio Guidance
Give the technician audible movement cues during supported runout compensation and caster sweeps.
