      The aim of this paper is to show that random Cayley graphs of finite simple (or semisimple) groups of Lie type of fixed rank are expanders. Remark that these are the infinite families of simple groups appearing in the classification of finite simple groups, other than the alternating groups. The method of the proofs is based on the Bourgain-Camburd method and on the main result of the companion paper [the authors, Isr. J. Math. 192, Part A, 347-379 (2012; Zbl 1266.20060)].
