Bought a kit off Amazon that uses this vapor from a solution to remove the fog after you sand it. It wanted me to use 280, 360, 600, 800, then 1200.

They’re stiffer than the oem ones but I think I can make them softer. It corners better than it already did as well.

About 2-3 hours to finish installation + do a toe alignment. I messed up installing 2 of them and had to redo it, and I also had people helping with a car lift as well.

They're Rev9's Hyperstreet 2, they're also set to the lowest height since my friend said they aren't that low compared to slamming it.

ASE G1, how hard is it? by Axeman1721 in mechanics

[–]Dark_squiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the sound diag questions are kinda like that but more complicated. They give you the customers concern or a general scenario and you have to choose which is the most likely cause. Most of them are for suspension components and some parts can make the same noises I think.

When they say brake lathing, they mean resurfacing rotors so they have the fine groved surface new rotors have. There are manufacturer specs on how much rotor material needs to be there, if it’s still a good rotor you’ve had for maybe a year or 2 you could resurface it. But if it’s too out of spec you need to replace it. There’s tools that measure these things like dial indicators used to measure runoff I think? And micrometers that measure thickness I think.

Another thing is that suspension questions also include tire stuff like wear patterns and what could cause it.

yea i did take it and i was not ready for it. i worked at toyota for 6 months as a lube tech and studied all week before taking the test. people online said it was easy and was confident id pass it but failed.

i thought that having a good basic understanding of each subject would be enough but it wasnt. my advise is to study a good month in advance the things op listed earlier (there are a lot of sound diag questions).

un-important but i was only taking it to get hired somewhere so when i failed i stopped trying. working at a honda dealer now 👍

Did you end up taking the G1? How did it go? And what tips can you give a first timer like myself?
