1. Bleeding a power steering unit is generally done by ANS >>> turning the
steering wheel left and right repeatedly
2. After rounding a turn, the front wheels do not return to the straight ahead

, >>> changing he length of the steering linkage
4. When performing a front-end alignment what should you do before you
adjust the toe setting? ANS >>> adjust the caster & camber
5. Front-wheel toe-in adjustment on rear-wheel drive vehicles is made by ANS
>>> ANS >>> -
changing the length of the steering linkage
6. A mechanic is going to adjust the curb height on a car with torsion bars. To
do this the car should be checked ANS >>> ANS >>> on a level surface with the car
at curb weight
7. A proper way to check ball joints for wear is by ANS >>> ANS >>> visual
observation of the wear indicator & unloading the ball joint and using a pry bar and
a dial indicator
8. which of the following adjustments can be made on all vehicles with
MacPherson strut suspensions? ANS >>> Toe settings
9. You are checking the war on ball joints with a dial indicator at the wheel
rim. What must you do to get accurate readings? ANS >>> check the wheel
bearing adjustment and correct if needed

, 10. A mechanic jacks up a car, stands facing it, places a hand on the front of

worn
11. Which of the following should be checked first thing when doing a
front-end alignment? ANS >>> Curb height
12. To counteract road crown, most manufacturers recommend that the left
front wheel be adjusted to have ANS >>> ANS >>> Less positive (+) caster than
the right
13. If the toe-in is too great, the tread will most likely show ANS >>> ANS >>>
feathered edges on both front tires
14. When a wheel alignment is done on a car with front torsion bars, what
should be checked and adjusted first? ANS >>> Curb height
15. Which of the following would be a typical automobile front end camber
setting? ANS >>> -3 degrees +/- 2 1/4 degrees its not the correct answer
16. A mechanic finds that a front tire is worn on the inside of the tread only.
The mechanic checks the air pressure and finds it correct. What is causing
this problem? ANS >>> The camber is set too negative
