Automotive Chassis Systems 6/E

新版特色：
The sixth edition of Automotive Chassis Systems was updated and expanded due to meet the following needs:
1. To meet the latest NATEF tasks requirements for MLR, AST and MAST
2. To improve the readability of the text to improve student learning
3. To improve teaching of these complex topics

To meet these requirements, the author has included the following changes to the new edition:
1. All content is correlated to 100% of the NATEF tasks for the Automotive Brake Systems (A5) content area for MLR, AST and MAST.
2. Full Color throughout to help bring the subject alive and make learning easier.
3. Content updated throughout.
4. New content includes:
• Expanded coverage of electronic brake proportioning (Chapter 6)
• Expanded coverage on brake line bending and flaring(Chapter 7)
• New information on the Brake Effectiveness Evaluation Procedure (BEEP) used by aftermarket brake manufacturers. (Chapter 12)
• New content on carbon-ceramic brake rotors (Chapter 14)
• Updated content on electronic stability control (ESC) systems (Chapter 19)
• Updated tire build code information (Chapter 20)
• New information on high performance urethane bushings(Chapter 23)
• Additional content on lateral acceleration sensors (Chapter 26)
• Updated content on electric power steering (EPS) systems (Chapter 29)
• Additional content on aftermarket alignment kits (Chapter 33)
5. Over 80 new color photographs and line drawings help students understand the content material and bring the subject alive.
6. Each technical topic is discussed in one place or chapter. Unlike other textbooks, this book is written so that the theory, construction, diagnosis, and service of a particular component or system is presented in one location. There is no need to search through the entire book for other references to the same topic.
