Course Overview
Course Content
Prerequisites
Attainment

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 tyre wear.
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.

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

We advise delegates to familiarise themselves in advance, with the wheel alignment equipment in their workplace and the primary vehicle measurements.

With completion of VSC 28, 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
