Quick Navigation

Overview

Using a unique two-volume approach to optimize learning in both the classroom and the auto shop, this trusted text covers diagnosis and service of automotive suspension and steering systems. The first volume (Classroom Manual) details theory and applications, while the second (Shop Manual) focuses on real-world symptoms, diagnostics, and repairs. Known for its comprehensive coverage, accurate and up-to-date details, and abundant illustrations, the text is an ideal resource to prepare for success as an automotive technician or pursue ASE certification. Now updated with extensive information on new and emerging technology and techniques--including hybrid and electric vehicles, tire plus sizing, and computer-controlled suspensions--the Seventh Edition also aligns with area A4 of the ASE Education Foundation 2017 accreditation model, including job sheets correlated to specific MLR, AST and MAST tasks.
