that's what i thought. plus if anything is replaced, or ride height changed, or just want to check something to see if it has moved it's handy to have.

i'm not sure how the lasers do it all, but they are "compensated" on the rims before the alignment. if they are unable to compensate then they are out of range and unable to communicate, then they would be too far offset i guess. during the caster adjustment the front wheels are turned 20 deg. either side of straight ahead and the machine knows how to do this so i'm thinking a bit of offset would be tolerated. if they are rotated during the alignment they will go out of range and have to be reset or leveled. the lasers on this setup go completely around the car except for the rear.
