Technician B states a uni- body frame is designed to transmit impact energy throughout the vehicle. Who is correct? - answerTechnician B Technician A states most small cars use a uni-body design. Technician B states a body over frame vehicle is better at hauling and trailering heavy loads. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states a constant rate spring increases the same amount for each inch it is compressed. Technician B states a uni-body frame uses a sub-frame for suspension and drive train components Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states one purpose of a spring is to carry the weight of the vehicle. Technician B states a coil over spring is the same as a McPherson strut . Who is correct? - answerTechnician A Technician A states some cars use a leaf spring with only one leaf. Technician B states ALL leaf springs are made of steel. Who is correct? - answerTechnician A Technician A states torsion bars can be switched from side to side. Technician B states coil springs can be adjusted with an adjustment screw and key. Who is correct? - answerNeither Technician Technician A states shock absorbers help prevent body roll. Technician B states shock absorbers can improve tire life and wear. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states shocks have oil in them. Technician B states shocks can have gas in them. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states mono-tube shocks have a second tube for shock oil to go into. Technician B states shock valves can be electronically controlled. Who is correct? - answerTechnician B Technician A states shock absorber ratio is the amount of gas vs the amount of oil in the shock. Technician B states shock absorber ratio is the stiffness of compression vs rebound. Who is correct? - answerTechnician B The primary purpose of a shock absorber is to _____________ - answerControl spring oscillations Technician A the anti-sway bar is to help the car accelerate without losing traction. Technician B states A-arm bushings should be tightened with the vehicle in the air so damage does not occur to them when setting the vehicle down. Who is correct? - answerNeither Technician Technician A states checking the ball joint on a McPherson strut suspension is done by gripping the tire at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions and rocking the tire in and out. Technician B states checking the ball joint on an SLA suspension is done by gripping the tire at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions and rocking the tire in and out. Who is correct? - answerNeither Technician Technician A states ball joints can be compression-loaded or tension-loaded. Technician B states all ball joints are load carrying. Who is correct? - answerTechnician A Technician A states the ride height of a torsion bar suspension can be adjusted. Technician B states when checking the ball joints on an SLA suspension you need to have the suspension loaded. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states tire cupping can be caused by a bad ball joint. Technician B states tire cupping can be cause by a bad shock absorber. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states air suspension can automatically adjust to keep a vehicle level. Technician B states some shocks are filled with oil that can change viscosity when current flows through it. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B Technician A states a live axle keeps the tires flat on the ground because it's a solid connection between each tire. Technician B states independent suspension keeps tires flat on the ground because each wheel is able to move independently over bumps. Who is correct? - answerTechnician B Camber pulls to the more _______ side - answerPositive What angle can lift the vehicle when the front wheels are turned? - answerCaster What angle controls whether the tire tread touches the road surface evenly? - answerCamber Technician A states a crooked steering wheel is caused by incorrect front toe. Technician B states a crooked steering wheel is caused by incorrect rear toe. Who is correct? - answerBoth Technician A and B What is the definition of Caster? - answerForward or rearward tilt of a line drawn through the upper and lower pivot points of the steering (steering axis) when viewed from the side.
