COURSE OVERVIEW

In this course, we will discover the different types of steering systems used in both passenger cars and off road vehicles including power assisted and fully mechanical systems. Within power assisted steering we examine both hydraulic and electrical power assisted systems. Steering on a modern vehicle is not only limited to the front axle, with several manufacturers opting to use the rear axle to adjust road handling. We will also explore these systems as well as explaining the importance for correct steering geometry and 4 wheel alignment. Also described within this course are the most common faults that occur in steering systems and the best practice for carrying out safe repairs.
