SA400 Suspension Analyzer
The SA400 provides a quick, objective inspection of all four corners of a vehicle’s suspension. Unlike a bounce test, each corner is tested independently to provide a safety check for:

Adhesion†
Is the tire in proper contact with the road? Can you steer and brake effectively? Very low adhesion levels indicate a safety problem and can result in tire cupping.

Damping
Hunter’s patented SA400 Damping Measurement System analyzes the ability of the shock to control excessive suspension and body motion.

An average of 10% of vehicles tested show suspension failure at one or more wheels. Typically shock/strut service represents $130.00 in service revenue.

† Adhesion was defined and standardized by EUSAMA, the European Shock Absorber Manufacturer Association.

Fail screen
This example shows side-to-side imbalance, indicating that something is wrong on at least one side (most likely the weak right side). The technician should check components probably resulting in shock or strut replacement.

Pass screen
If damping and adhesion are balanced side-to-side, display includes individual evaluations of damping and adhesion for left and right wheels.

Test Recommends Shock/Strut Upgrades
Test Recommends Shock/Strut Upgrades
The SA400 displays go beyond pass or fail recommendations. For this vehicle, damping is “Soft”. With this information, the technician can discuss the customer’s desired ride characteristics. If the customer wants a “Normal” or “Firm” ride, this customer should consider a shock or strut upgrade.
