Overview

Steering Geometry & Four Wheel Alignment :VSC28

Vague steering and wandering off line?
Uneven tyre wear? Straighten things out here!

This course is for technicians involved in the inspection of steering systems and vehicle suspension, which requires specialist knowledge in order to identify the appropriate adjustments as well as where component replacement is necessary. Incorrect steering geometry or wheel alignment can affect the vehicle’s stability and cause uneven tyre wear.

The course covers the principles of steering geometry as well as the operation of alignment equipment and the interpretation of measurements. All of which enable 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
  • Tyre characteristics and the influence on the vehicle
  • Carrying out measurements correctly
  • Practise using a typical Bosch wheel aligner
  • Advanced suspension systems

    Prerequisites

  • We advise delegates to familiarise themselves in advance, with the wheel alignment equipment in their workplace and the primary vehicle measurements
  • Please see the Bosch Diagnostic Technician Flowchart for more information on the recommended pathway

    Attainment
    Upon 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 specification
  • Length: 1 day
