No automotive course is complete without an in-depth look at inspecting and servicing steering systems. This program guides students through the entire process, from diagnosing problems to performing first-rate pump, rack, and linkage system service. Starting with visual, fluid-level, and stethoscope inspection methods, the video shows how to test pressure throughout the system, how to deal with rack-and-pinion components, and how to remove the wheels, tie-rod ends, shaft boot, coupling bolt, and other parts. For linkage systems, the program shows how to check for play in the idler rod, how to remove the gear box, and other essential procedures. Animated diagrams and live-action close-ups make this a comprehensive steering-service guide. Correlates to all National CTE Organizational Standards (including the provisions of the Perkins Act) A viewable/printable instructor's guide is included.
