Prerequisites:
We advise delegates to familiarisethemselves, in advance, with the wheel alignment equipment in their workplace and the primary vehicle measurements
Attainment:
On successful completion of VSC28, delegates will be able to: • State the mechanical and geometric measured values in relation to suspension and steering systems and the effects if incorrect • Measure and record the alignment related values on a typical vehicle for all wheels to determine the alignment adjustments required • Carry out adjustments to return the vehicle to the correct specificatio

Technicians involved in the inspection of vehicle suspension and steering systems require specialist knowledge to identify the appropriate adjustments and where component replacement is necessary. Incorrect steering geometry or wheel alignment can affect the vehicle’s stability and cause uneven tyrewear. The principles of steering geometry, the operation of alignment equipment, and the interpretation of measurements are covered in this course, enabling technicians to correctly diagnose faults and propose the appropriate corrective action. This course is not suitable for technicians without access to wheel alignment test equipment in their workplace
Course Content:
Principles of suspension and steering • Understanding geometric values and ride height • Preparatory checks and inspection • Tyrecharacteristics and the influence on the vehicle • Carrying out measurements correctly • Practice using a typical Bosch wheel aligner • Advanced suspension systems
* Course dates are subject to change and minimum numbers are required on certain courses. A member of the team will be in touch to confirm your booking.
We are running a series of topical webinars to help address the current climate.
