New I-CAR Steering and Suspension Course Now Available

Advanced Steering and Suspension Systems Damage Analysis (DAM15) replaces Electronically Controlled Steering and Suspension Systems (STE05).

I-CAR has announced that its new interactive Advanced Steering and Suspension Systems Damage Analysis (DAM15) course is now available. This course provides detailed information on the considerations for inspecting steering and suspension systems and, I-CAR states, "provides knowledge that can lead to increased efficiency and a positive customer experience." 

“Advanced steering and suspension systems are common in today’s vehicles, and if not repaired properly, other vehicle systems can be compromised,” said Josh McFarlin, I-CAR director of curriculum and product development. “Repairers can apply knowledge learned in this course throughout the repair process.”

The course features a series of interactive classroom activities and problem-solving scenarios designed to engage the student and enrich their learning experience in order to further prepare them to apply their knowledge on the job. Toward the end of the course, the student will engage in a “damage discovery” activity where they will simulate the estimating process.

This instructor-led, live three-credit hour course meets training requirements for estimators, auto physical damage appraisers and electrical/mechanical technicians in I-CAR’s Professional Development Program (PDP). DAM15 has replaced Electronically Controlled Steering and Suspension Systems (STE05). If STE05 has been completed, training credit earned will not be lost.
