Why Replacing Control Arms and Bushings in Pairs is Necessary
Let’s focus on identifying when control arms need to be replaced, and why they should always be replaced in pairs.
Alignment Shims and Kits
Listen to what the customer says and sell them the cure to their problem, using examples to explain why they need it.
Suspension Noise Diagnostics
If one suspension part is out of specification, it can cause noise or vibration in another.
Jaguar Tech Tip: No Communication With Chassis
If the battery supply to the vehicle is disconnected for any reason, the Chassis Control Module may not power-up correctly.
Recognizing Steering System And Chassis Damage Patterns
If these components are damaged, the person steering needs to expect the handling of their vehicle to become critical.
Curing Customer Noise Complaints With Logic
The topic of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnostics came home to me 20 years ago when I began dabbling in collector car repairs. Customers soon began complaining about wind noise and chassis vibrations in ’60s-era cars.
WATCH: TTY Bolts For Suspension And Brake Components (Torque + Angle)
In this Tech Minute, Andrew Markel covers everything about TTY bolts and how their build could affect your next suspension repair. Brought to you by MEYLE.
The Dynamic Alignment Perspective
One of the most difficult concepts for any technician to grasp is how alignment angles change when a vehicle is accelerating, braking and cornering. The view seen when the sensors and targets are on the vehicle in the alignment bay is just a small snapshot into the suspension’s geometry.
Toe And Tie Rods
Toe is the most critical alignment angle. It is also an angle that can change as the weight of the vehicle is transferred to the front or rear wheels. Engineers can tune the suspension geometry and toe to make the vehicle more stable under braking or initial turn in.
