Im so glad you posted this today. Im going for my A4 re-certification next week and this is just the brush up i needed to bring back all the technical terms that will be on the test.
There's an error in the slide at 7:38 - it's supposed to be showing negative caster load projecting but it's actually showing positive caster load projecting (just like the slide before it). The issue is that the label denoting which direction is the front of the vehicle switches between those two slides instead of remaining in the same position.
I like the stock ride heights of the 60's Lincoln and Cadillac smooth looking highway machines. The old GTO's of the same years also had a nice highway wheel placement in my opinion. I know the new cars handle better in an emergency but the old heavy rides are nice if you are driving all day long on the open road going somewhere.
Yes I have seen that years ago, and I'm always looking at the wheels on my dodge ram to see if it is DOG-TRACKING. Are the front wheels of any vehicle always track together or can they sometimes be wider at the front or wider at the rear?
I wrote a course for a Canadian company on basic service for Tesla vehicles but I don't want to violate their trust by using any of that material so I may have to put something together that's different from what I wrote for them...
What I would like to understand is if the camber/caster with struts are ever adjustable; because I don't see any adjustable bolts on struts. Do I need a caster/camber alignment when replacing struts or just the toe adjustment?
Typically you can buy a camber bolt kit for the camber adjustment but sometimes on the struts you have to cut the spot Wells out of the top of the tower and move the strut that way after you slot the holes... Some struts have an egg-shaped hole if the bolts go crossways for camber
@@McCuistian I'm not a car enthusiast who like to change things, I only want to learn the correct way to put things back if I do a repair. When I replaced the struts on a Kia Picanto, I did not see any way of adjusting the camber/caster, so I figured that it set at the factory and as long as I replaced everything correctly, that the caster/camber would be correct.

Thanks for the lesson and stories. U remind me of my instructor.
amazing content, keep up the grade work sir. We need more professional like you in this field that are capable of teaching.

I like the way you teach. Will you be doing any future videos pertaining to EVs?

ball joints will also cause that sort of squeaking from wear
