Anyone ever actually tried Hunter Engineering Bump Steer measurement ?

Hi There,

Have anyone tried this Bump Steer measurement ?

Hunter Alignment system has this option :
Software : WinAlign Tuner™ Kit – 20-2004-1 or WinAlign® Plus Kit – 20-2005-1 and this hardware , the Bump Steer Winch Kit 20-2011-1 .
Both are only US$$1,100 total list price before discount per 2018, it is not something very expensive for a good tire shop.

To measure Bump Steer like below :

For those who does not know the effect of bump steer, here is a good info with video :

Those lowering their cars would benefit in troubleshooting steering direction stability issues if before an after measurement of Bump Steer
been done.

ADD : Some Hunter Console comes standard with this extra software already, like the WA600, WA400 and WA200 in their main WinAlign software,
so only US$580 Bump Steer Winch Kit 20-2011-1 to buy.

Thank you in advance
