I-CAR has announced the revamping of its Steering and Suspension Damage Analysis (DAM06) course.
The course now includes up-to-date information on damage analysis procedures for steering and suspension systems and parts featured on today’s vehicles. The course also includes a series of interactive classroom activities designed to engage the student and enrich their learning experience.
“This course provides an understanding of steering and suspension repair considerations that can help eliminate the chance of compromising the vehicle’s integrity during the repair and reduce comebacks,” said Josh McFarlin, I-CAR director of curriculum and product development. “Content included in this course is beneficial to repairers, business owners and, ultimately, consumers.”
During the course, students will gain a detailed overview of steering and suspension systems and parts. They also will have the opportunity to analyze certain issues such as caster, camber and toe.
Understanding ride height difference and additional inspection methods also will be covered, as well as how to use alignment angle reading. Students will participle in multiple activities throughout the course, including an interactive alignment activity where they will determine alignment angles.
This instructor-led, three-credit hour course meets training requirements for estimators and auto physical damage appraisers in I-CAR’s Professional Development Program (PDP).
