AUBR 208 - Unibody Structural Analysis and Repair


PROGRAM: Automotive Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Covers unibody repair, identification and analysis of damage, measuring and fixing systems, straightening systems and techniques, mechanical component service and knowledge of suspension and steering systems on front-wheel-drive unibody vehicles.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Demonstrate proper shop safety practices while in the lab(s). This includes wearing safety glasses (goggles) at all times while in the lab(s). (a, b, f, g)
  2. Analyze collision damage. Diagnose and measure structural damage using the proper tools. Analyze what must be repaired and refinished to restore the vehicle to both its pre-collision state and manufacturer’s specifications. (a, b, c, e, f, g, i)
  3. Define the properties of mild and high strength steel. (f)
  4. Identify suspension and frame nomenclature. (f, g, i)
  5. Demonstrate measuring systems. (a, b, c, e, f, g, i)
  6. Demonstrate pulling systems. This includes properly and safely setting up and using the frame machine to straighten unibody damage. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
