I have found out a lot of dealerships do not have the proper equipment for our cars anymore. I called a local dealer last week to recalibrate my tire sensors they told me they had it...I waited for 30mins and they come out to tell me they no longer have it due to our vars being discontinued. I heard some dealers are the same way with alignments. I had to drive an HOUR one way just to get my tire sensors recalibrated. We have the tool to do this, but it doesn't reset it for my Crossfire...it works for every car but mine it seems like
Tori, I believe the "tool" you are referring to is the toe pressure bar (it simulates the toe as the car is at speed)... while it is recommended by Chrysler (Mercedes) to use this tool it is actually not necessary. A proper alignment can be done by a good alignment tech without this tool... as the improper use of this tool will give more wear on the inside of the tire as the toe could be off.
Of course if this isn't what you were referring to then you can ignore this post.
