STEERING AND SUSPENSION EXAM
2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100% PASS
Static wheel imbalance - ANS moves vertically, shift along centerline of wheel and causes
wheel to bounce
dynamic wheel imbalance - ANS wheel's center of gravity is outside center line and axis of
rotation, tires wobble side to side
snap in valve (rubber) - ANS fits aluminum and steel, suitable for max 130 mph, mounted as
tubeless valve
clamp in valve(nickle) - ANS metal Contruction and suitable for 155 mph
passive tpms - ANS uses abs and warning light
active tpms - ANS each tire has it, detects smallest deviation in tire pressure and tire
temperature
Test before touch - ANS check for blinking, check presence and looseness of valve caps,
check for valve damage or corrosion, check sensors, check tire pressure
1 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026.
, tpms sensor component - ANS circuit board, radio transmitter, battery, pressure sensor
wheel suspension - ANS connects wheel to chassis
chassis - ANS vehicle without parts
suspension system - ANS isolates the vehicle's body from vibrations caused by the up-and-
down movement of wheels
steering system - ANS Allows the driver to control vehicle direction
shock absorber - ANS ensures spring vibrations are dampened
rack and pinion direct steering system - ANS direct connection to wheels
sprung mass - ANS doesn't follow bumps on roads
unsprung mass - ANS follows bumps on roads
what is the distance between two coils? - ANS pitch
coil springs with coils blank apart a stiffer *higher* spring rate - ANS further apart
leaf spring - ANS used in rear axle, accommodates longitudinal and transverse forces, used
on trucks
