ASE B6 Test Damage Analysis Estimating 2026 Study Guide - Full Answer Key Verified
ASE B6 Test Damage Analysis Estimating 2026 Study Guide - Full Answer Key Verified SAI refers to... - answer - An angle in the suspension system - the steering axis inclination. This can be measured using wheel alignment equipment. Incorrect SAI contributes to poor handling. TTY (torque to yield) refers to... - answer - The strength of a fastener, its allowable reuse and the fact that a fastener deforms upon application of torque. It is a one time use fastener that is used on critical applications. When it is torqued, the threads deform. locking it in to place. UPCR stands for... - answer - Uniform Procedures for Collision Repair (by I-CAR). Another term often used to describe "damage" is____________. - answer - Nonconformity. The centerline of a vehicle is.... - answer - an imaginary plane that divides the vehicle in half from front to rear. Bent seat attaching hardware, broken motor mounts, cracked transmission cases or damaged electronic components are all examples of _________ damage. - answer - Indirect. You must trace the energy into the vehicle structure and looks closely for kinks, buckles and other signs of distortion. Another sign of prior repairs is inconsistent _____ ______ thickness. - answer - " paint film" . This can be measured with paint film thickness or mil gauges. OEM paint will measure in the range of 3.5 to 5.5 mils (refinished panels can double that and a blended panel can be as much as 50% greater in thickness.) What is it called when a part folds onto itself like an accordion? - answer - Convolution. A convoluted structural component should be replaced. What are some measuring tools used to identify structural damage? - answer - computerized measuring systems, universal three-dimensional measuring systems, laser systems and the tram gauge. What are the three spatial planes when measuring a vehicles dimensions? - answer - Height from datum, width from centerline and length. ETRs stands for.... - answer - Emergency Tensioning Retractors (seatbelt tensioners) Additional material and charges include: - answer - Caulk, refrigerants (R12 & R134a),sounds deadners, clips, hardware, car covers for paint masking, coolant, washer fluid, lubricants (transmission fluid/brake fluid/ power steering fluid, etc), structural bonding material, etc. Type of damage: Sag - answer - Change in Height Signs of structural damage are reasons to write for structural measurements tasks in the estimate. How much time do appraiser generally write in to set up and measure a car ? - answer - Generally 2.5 hours, but can vary according to severity, market, type of vehicle and measuring system. What is unjust enrichment? - answer - When the insured or claimant is put in a better position than he/she was prior to the loss (i.e. putting new tires on without making a betterment adjustment) What are the three types of vehicle construction? - answer - 1: Unibody - the most common passenger car design. 2: Body over frame, also known as the perimeter frame (or ladder-style frame), which is common is SUV's and light trucks. 3: Space Frame - defined as a structural frame with non load bearing panels - similar to the unibody design, but it can meet crash standards without its outer body panels (some early Saturns were space frame design). What type of frame design offer's greater resistance to pulling and are easier to repair, but you have to be careful because the "body" itself may appear undamaged? - answer - The body over frame design. Because the bodies are mounted independent of the frame, the doors, hood and truck lids may open/close just fine, in spite of a bent frame. What's the hardest type of frame damage to repair on a full frame vehicle and often requires the replacement of a full frame assembly? - answer - Diamond damage, where the frame becomes a parallelogram, with one side measuring a different length over the course of the entire chassis. According to some manufacturers,, a kinked frame rail must be __________ a
