Wheel Alignment - Taught By a Shop Teacher

Published 2020-04-08
Wheel alignments for High School Mechanics! Made easy! Explained so anyone can understand! You got this! The basics: the main angles, why you need them, and what to shoot for, and the basics of how to adjust things. As always, I do show some "not normal" way of doing things.

    This is one of the only teachers I had in highschool that could make me pay attention and enjoy class. 18 years later and I randomly find this page looking for camber settings for my truck. I have parts on that car!
  • I am a 62 yes old lady. Just out of college in 1982 I got hired at Sears Automotive Shop. I moved up to doing alignments I loved it. So I love to hear you talk and explain alignments. Thank you.

    The absolute best explanation of alignment specs that I have ever come across!!! And I consider myself to have a black belt in YouTube/Google searching ;) Thanks for your time and knowledge 🙏
  • Your students must love your class. Your an amazing teacher. Best "how to" car video I've ever watched!

    I work for a Kenworth dealership and have performed many wheel alignments on heavy duty line haul trucks & enjoy the concepts of alignments too, there is no better feeling than receiving great feedback from customers of how great their vehicle handles & drives down the road. All I can say is WOW this is such a great video to watch for someone wanting to learning wheel alignments & it’s concepts. I even learned some new things watching this video. Thanks a lot for this great video, big thumbs up 👍 I definitely will be following a lot more videos on your channel!

  • @theogharoon
    Moved to Australia 17 years ago from BC. Seeing this video makes me want to move back and get an alignment done... This is how to teach.
  • @LivingAwake
    Been around cars and shops my whole life. How you explain things makes all the difference. Great work!

    Excellent video. I have always dreaded having to take my car to an alignment shop. I've found once a shop breaks the seal on a factory setup, my cars have always worn tires prematurely. After having completed a rotisserie restoration on my 66 Mustang I decided I would try to learn to do it myself. I picked up a Longacre Caster/Camber gauge and toe plates. It took me a little bit to figure out what was going on but eventually I had it down pat. It's a great skill to have. I'm Subscribed.

    There's nothing like knowledge shared by an experienced enthusiast. Thank you.
  • Love the empty tuna tin on a piece of welding rod, best teaching aid ever! Thanks...
  • Very nice job!!! I would have enjoyed your classes. Just the right amount of practical purpose discussion, technical, and application.
