ASE B6 – DAMAGE ANALYSIS (GLOSSARY OF TERMS)
AND DEFINITION
ANSWER Anti-lock brake system, or ABS
Actual cost: Provide the precise steps, components, and supplies used in the
repair process, as well as any supporting documentation such as invoices, tapes,
and photographs. In contrast to predicted cost, this represents real cost.
The cost of replacing a car with one of similar kind and condition, plus any
relevant sales tax and license transfer fees, is known as actual cash value
(ACV), a phrase used in claims settlements.
The projecting tips on a spray gun's air cap are called air horns.
To align two or more structures in a linear pattern with each other, use the align
function.
Components or parts produced by a business other than the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) are referred to as aftermarket.
The computer-controlled anti-lock brake system (ABS) ANSWER releases
hydraulic pressure to wheels that are about to lock up and slide, allowing the
vehicle to be controlled when braking heavily. A control module receives data
from sensors at the wheels that measure the speed of the rotating wheel in
respect to neighboring wheels. Each brake assembly's hydraulic fluid pressure is
controlled by a hydraulic modulator, which is in turn controlled by the module.
In certain applications, such as with stainless steel fasteners, anti-seize
compound (ANSWER) is applied to the threads of the fasteners to increase
corrosion resistance and offer insulation from vibration, which can cause bolts
to loosen. Because the compound seals the threads, it can also act as a barrier
against water intrusion.
, Appreciation: ANSWER: A rise in worth, especially when considering how an
owner uses and enjoys their property
The act of dispersing a liquid material into a mist composed of uniformly sized
droplets is known as "atomization." Paint products are atomized using spray
apparatus.
The ratio of the driven wheel's rotational speed (rpm) to that of the driveshaft is
known as the axle ratio. The final drive's gear reduction is calculated by
dividing the ring gear's tooth count by the pinion gear's tooth count.
The steering knuckle can move up and down and turn in response to steering
input thanks to the ball joint, a suspension component that serves as a pivot
point. The stud on the opposite end of the ball is fastened to the steering
knuckle, and the ball itself fits into a socket housing that is connected to the
control arm. To keep lubricant in and dirt out, a dust cover is placed over the
ball and socket assembly.
bend: ANSWER when the part's shape changes smoothly and continuously
between the injured and undamaged areas, allowing for straightening without
causing irreversible deformation.
Improvement: A lot of insurance companies will reimburse the client for
genuinely supplying a component or assembly that is superior to what the owner
possessed on the day of loss. Tires, batteries, brake linings, shocks, and struts
are among the frequently replaced parts that get worn down over the course of a
car's life.
To reduce the appearance of a color mismatch, blend is the technique of
spreading color onto nearby panels. The painter often covers the blended panel
with a clear finish once the color has been mixed.
Bolted parts and assemblies are those pieces that can be fastened to a panel or
assembly that has been fixed or replaced. Bolted parts and assemblies include,
for instance, the mechanical parts, electrical harnesses, and relays that are
fastened to a fender apron.
