Steering Lab Assignment
Part of Lesson Plan: **Steering Fundamentals (updated) by Russell Granger
Activity Overview / Details
Students will be given lab assignment worksheets they will use
to identify the different types of steering systems & the key
components. Each student group will identify these parts on 2
different vehicles with different types of steering systems and
explain how they operate. This will then lead into my suspension
lecture. Students are continually monitored to insure they are
wearing their safety glasses and cover-alls while
maintaining safe shop practices at all times while in the shop
area.
