Beginning with entry level explanations of the critical systems and advancing to the standard required of ASE L4 and L5 certification testing, this stand alone book is a first rate primer in the study of highway truck and trailer brake, suspension, and steering systems. Modular in format, the book's chapters cover basic principles directed to specific, performance based learning outcomes. Step by step photo sequences for many critical shop based tasks and an emphasis on troubleshooting help learners make the connection between conceptual and hands on learning.
