A. An equalizer bracket. adjust axle alignment.
B. A torque rod. Answer C is incorrect. The spring assemblies
C. A spring. distribute the vehicle load across the frame and
D. A shock absorber. provide a cushion between the road surface and
the vehicle.
Answer D is correct. Shock absorbers dampen
spring oscillation by limiting the effects of spring
jounce and rebound
,2. Upon inspection, excessive play Answer A is incorrect. Tilt mechanisms are
in the steering column assembly on designed to allow for the column to be adjusted

A. Loose lock shoe in the support result.
B. Faulty anti-lash spring in the Answer B is correct. A faulty anti-lash spring
centering sphere might cause the housing to be loose, but it would
C. Loose tilt head pivot pins not cause excessive play in the steering column
D. Column mounting bracket bolts assembly.
loose Answer C is incorrect. The main housing pivots on
the pivot screws located on each side of the
main housing support bracket. If the pins become
worn, the steering column would have excessive
movement because the pivot pins are not
holding the column securely in place.
Answer D is incorrect. The column mounting bolt
bracket secures the column. If the bracket bolts
become loose, the column would shift and have
movement in the steering column assembly.
4. While discussing steering system Answer A is incorrect. There are two Ackerman
components, Technician A states arms in the steering system.

B. A damaged relay rod Answer C is incorrect. A worn tie rod end can
C. A worn tie rod end cause veering when striking a bump because of
D. A wheel out of balance looseness in the ball joint end of the tie rod.
Answer D is correct. Wheel balance will not
cause veering, only a shaking in the steering
wheel.
6. The alignment angle that is LEAST Answer A is correct. Castor is a non tire wearing
LIKBLY to cause the greatest tire angle. Excessive Castor will be present with
wear is. steerability complaints and wheel shimmy at low
A. Castor. speeds.
B. Turning radius. Answer B is incorrect. Turning radius usually does
C. Toe-in. not cause tire wear unless the Ackerman arms are
D. Camber. damaged or the wrong Ackerman arm is
installed.
Answer C is incorrect. Toe in causes the greatest
tire wear. Improper toe adjustment causes rapid
tire wear, which may result in tire failure, collision
damage, and personal injury. Excessive toe Out
causes wear on the inside of the tire tread ribs
and a sharp feathered edge on the outside of the
tread ribs. If excessive toe-in is present, the tire
tread wear is reverses
Answer D is incorrect. Camber can cause tire
wear but not as great a tire wearing angle as
toein
