Chilton's Guide To Brakes, Steering and Suspension 1980-87

With the increasing popularity of front wheel drive automobiles, rack and pinion steering and advanced braking systems, basic service information on these new design components is a necessity for the do-it-yourselfer or mechanic. MacPherson struts have replaced the traditional shock absorber as the basic suspension unit of almost all modern front suspension designs, and while the modern suspension system contains fewer parts, the service procedures are more complex and unique to each individual system. Similarly, advances in steering and brake system design and performance, make accurate service procedures a necessity.

Chassis service is fast becoming one of the most frequently serviced areas of the modern vehicle. This valuable reference contains the most-used diagnostic and service procedures for the brake, steering and suspension systems of popular domestic and import cars.

“Theory, diagnosis, repair, and specifications for the most-worked on safety related systems of your car, van or truck.”
