16 Section 2

17 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING How Genesis Establishes Planes (Centerline Plane) Section 2 Page 1 Important: Genesis2 establishes the three planes (Centerline, Datum Line Plane, Body Zero Line). It also establishes what tolerances are taken into account in the Center Section. Installing four Targets at recommended Reference Points is referred to as a Four Point Measurement. Always start with a Four Point Measurement. Four Point Measurement Creating Centerline Plane Centerline Plane Established by Genesis. Width Measurements divided in half establishes Centerline Plane

18 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING How Genesis Establishes Planes (Datum Plane) Section 2 Page 2 R Four Point Measurement Creating Datum Plane Datum Plane is established by averaging height of four Reference Points in Center Section.

19 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING How Genesis Establishes Planes (Length Plane) Section 2 Page 3 The first right/left pair of Targets entered establishes Body Zero Line. Length measurements start from mid-point of the two points selected for Body Zero Line. Recommended starting point for length measurements Optional Body Zero Line Plane

20 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Center Section Tolerance Section 2 Page 4 R All measuring must have a starting place. The starting place for measuring a vehicle is always the Center Section. A limited amount of tolerance is acceptable when establishing the three dimensional planes in the Center Section. Tolerance Length Tolerance-Plus or minus 3 millimeters. Width Tolerance-Plus or minus 2 millimeters. Height Tolerance-Plus or minus 1 millimeter. Width and Height are the most important measurements in Center Section analysis. When establishing a base for measuring, look at Tolerances from the standpoint of where they are and what they will affect. For example: End sections of Vehicle can accept +3mm or -3mm per point. Center Section of Vehicle cannot accept +3mm or -3mm per point. When in a Four Point measuring mode, and Width or Height exceeds Tolerance in Center Section, a Three Point Measurement must be considered. What Is A Three Point Measurement? Three Point Measuring is the use of only Three Base Reference Points in Center Section or the deleting of One Base Reference Point from a Four Point Measurement.

21 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Center Section Tolerance Section 2 Page 5 When width measurements exceed recommended Tolerance, a Three Point Measurement must be considered. To see the total amount, add the two width measurements together. The example at left shows a minimum of 6mm. NOTE: Because Genesis does not measure in tenths of a millimeter, 1.4 will round to 1mm and 1.6 will round to 2mm. When height measurements exceed recommended tolerance, consider a Three Point Measurement. To detect a height measurement that exceeds tolerance, add the four height measurements together. This example shows a minimum of 8mm. NOTE: When length measurements are excessive, Targets may be incorrectly located on vehicle or placed at wrong points on Graphic.

22 Section 3

23 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Center Section Misalignment Section 3 Page 1 This Centerline misalignment is from a hit in the Cowl. Undamaged End Section. Four Point Measurement Distortion of Width measurements in a Four Point Measurement establishes an incorrect Centerline in undamaged end section. Three Point Measurement Total amount of misalignment is displayed at deleted Point. Deleting Target at point of misalignment establishes a correct Centerline in undamaged end section.

24 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Center Section Misalignment Section 3 Page 2 R This Datum Plane misalignment is from a left rear hit. Four Point Measurement Undamaged End Section. Distortion of Height Measurements in a Four Point Measurement establishes an incorrect Datum Measurement in undamaged end section. Three Point Measurement Total amount of misalignment is displayed at deleted Point. Deleting Target at Point of misalignment establishes a correct Datum Plane in undamaged end section.

25 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Center Section Misalignment Section 3 Page 3 Twist in Center Section. Four Point Measurement establishes Datum Plane that is an Average Height of the four Base Reference Points. Three Point Measurement establishes Datum Plane from the Height Specification of the three Base Reference points used.

26 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Guide to Three Point Measuring Section 3 Page 4 R Width and Height in Center Section are the two primary measurements that determine if a Three Point Measurement is needed. Two basic guides to help determine which Target to delete when Height or Width exceeds the allowed Tolerance, include: 1. Delete Target in area of obvious damage. (See Example #1) 2. Delete Target based on Vehicle s normal reaction in a collision. (See Example #2) NOTE: These are Guides Only. Direct Damage at Cowl is an example of an Obvious Point to Delete. Example #1 These Reference Points are used to establish the Base for measuring. Deleted Point shows the total amount of misalignment

27 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Guide to Three Point Measuring Section 3 Page 5 1. Delete Target in area of obvious damage. (See example #1) 2. Consider strength of vehicles structure and its normal reaction in a collision. (See example #2) Example #2 Cowl and lower structure has the most strength. This area usually deflects upward in a front collision. This area usually deflects upward in a rear collision. From Theory perspective, delete the Arrow pointing upward at rear of Center Section. Measure undamaged section of Vehicle to select the best Three Point Measurement.

48 Section 5

49 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 1 Two basic angles must be achieved during structural repairs. Steering Axis Inclination Angle (SAI) Caster Angle SAI Caster SAI is an imaginary line drawn through Steering Axis as viewed from front of Vehicle. Caster is an imaginary line drawn through Steering Axis as viewed from side of Vehicle. These two angles are created from Steering Axis.

50 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 2 R What is Steering Axis? Steering Axis is the upper and lower pivot points of the suspension.

51 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 3 What is SAI? Steering Axis Inclination is an imaginary line drawn through the upper and lower pivot points of the suspension. It is viewed from front of Vehicle. The line forms an angle. The angle is relative to true vertical. The purpose of SAI is for directional control. SAI Angle True Vertical Purpose of SAI is for directional control.

52 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 4 R What is Caster? Caster Angle is an imaginary line drawn through the upper and lower pivot points of the suspension. It is viewed from side of Vehicle. The line forms an angle. The angle is relative to true vertical. The purpose of Caster is for directional control. 0 Caster Positive Caster Projects Weight of Vehicle at Tire Contact. Negative Caster Projects weight of Vehicle ahead of tire contact. Projects weight of Vehicle behind tire contact. NOTE Most Vehicles require a slight Positive Caster.

53 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 5 Important: The SAI and Caster Angles are measured by Genesis for comparison purposes only. The measurements are not to be compared to manufacture s specifications. Points measured with Genesis2 are not true pivot points of the suspension. Actual pivot point of upper strut is where strut shaft enters strut. Actual pivot point for the lower ball joint is center of ball. Actual pivot point of upper strut. Actual pivot is center of ball.

54 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 6 R To achieve equal Caster Angles: Pivot point for upper strut must be equal length from Body Zero Line (right side compared to left side) Pivot point for lower ball joint must be equal length from Body Zero Line (right side compared to left side) Click Suspension Angles to access Dialog Box. IMPORTANT: In order to compare Suspension Angles, Targets 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 must be read by Body Scanner. Length measurements of ball joints Length measurements of upper struts Equal Caster Angle NOTE: Because points measured by Genesis are not true pivot points, Caster Angle must not be compared to manufacturer s specifications.

55 R GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 7 Correct width dimension from Centerline. SAI Angle measured by Genesis for comparison to opposite side. Equal measurements from Centerline. Width measurements of ball joints from Centerline. Width measurements of upper struts from Centerline. Equal SAI Angle NOTE: Because points measured by Genesis are not true pivot points, SAI Angle must not be compared to manufacturer s specifications.

56 GENESIS BASIC TRAINING Suspension Angles Section 5 Page 8 R IMPORTANT: After all upper body suspension points are dimensionally located and the lower ball joints are symmetrically located (as per length and width measurements and side-toside comparisons), there may still be a problem with the final alignment of the wheels. Example: On a strut type suspension a bent strut shaft or steering knuckle may cause incorrect camber. Possible bent strut shaft. Possible bent steering knckle. Possible bent ball joint. To check for bent strut shaft: Loosen nut at strut shaft just enough so the shaft can be rotated. As shaft is rotated watch for movement in lower strut and steering knuckle area. If movement is detected, the shaft is bent and must be replaced. To check for bent steering knuckle: Place straight edge on rotor and measure from straight edge to point where knuckle attaches to strut. Compare this measurement to opposite side of vehicle. See example below. Measure from straight edge to steering knuckle and compare to opposite side of vehicle. Straight Edge Rotor Measure from rotor to ball joint and compare to opposite side of vehicle to check for bent ball joint.
