Part 3 of a Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) video series on welding emphasizes protective measures that shops and technicians must take to stay safe during welding procedures.
Safety measures include proper welding helmets, protective gloves, fume extractors and screens.
The association unveiled the video at its July 24 open Board of Directors meeting in Chicago.
The video features SCRS members Michael Bradhsaw, Andy Dingman, Toby Chess and Dave Gruskos.
If camber, caster or toe are out of specifications, there is usually a reason why.
You’ve seen it a hundred times. A vehicle comes in with abnormal wear on a front tire. It looks like camber wear. One shoulder is badly worn, but the other front tire appears to be OK. You put it on your alignment machine and check camber and toe. Sure enough, camber on the wheel with the worn tire is out of specifications. You visually inspect the suspension for obvious signs of wear or damage like collapsed control arm bushings, a bad ball joint, or a weak or broken spring, but you find nothing. You assume the front end is out of adjustment, so you reset camber to specifications and send the customer on his or her way.

Like any automatic transmission, the condition and level of fluid in a CVT unit will determine the performance.
Over time, the oil filter can collect enough contaminants to become restricted.
The key to servicing these systems is proper information and understanding precisely how these systems operate.
Every driver has a different threshold for a pull.
If the clutch gets too hot from excessive slippage or loading, the linings may burn, damaging the clutch.
Accuracy is important for sophisticated ADAS systems.
