C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B - correct answers✅C. Both Techs are
right. Too much runout or static out of balance in the front
wheels will cause a vibration
3. A vehicle has front wheel shimmy at low speed and

that too much Positive caster could be the cause. Who is
right?
A Tech A only
B. Tech B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B - correct answers✅B. Excessive

4. All of these could cause tire wear if not within
manufacturer's Specs EXCEPT:
A. Caster
B. Wheel balance
C. Toe-In
D. Camber - correct answers✅A. Caster that is out of
spec will affect steering and handling characteristics, but
will not cause tire wear. Whereas, too much toe in or out
would severely wear the tires. Additionally, excessive
camber would cause inside or outside shoulder wear on
the tire, depending on whether the camber was too
negative or positive.
5. A vehicle with variable assist power steering has a lack
of power assist in both directions. Tech A says That the
problem is in the electronic control system. Tech B says
that there could be a problem in the steering gear or a
bad power steering pump. Who is right?
A. Tech A only
B. Tech B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B - correct answers✅B. Although
further diagnosis will be necessary, Tech B is right. Tech A
is wrong because, when there is a malfunction in a
variable assist power steering system, the system will
allow full power steering.

6. A customer complains that a vehicle wanders on a
bumpy road and needs continual driver correction to stay
straight. What could be Wrong?
A. Excessive negative front caster
B. Insufficient front toe
C. Rear or front bump steer
D. All of the above - correct answers✅D. Excessive
negative caster, insufficient front toe, and front or rear
bump steer could cause a vehicle to wander on a bumpy
road.
7. While aligning a front end, a technician finds the toe
out on turns (turning Radius) to be greater than the
manufacturer's Specs and it has 2.0 degrees difference
from the left side to the right side. Which, if any, of the
following could be the cause?
A. Nothing is wrong; the vehicle has a non symmetrical
steering design.
B. Bent pitman arm
C. bent tie-rod
D. Both B and C - correct answers✅D. either a bent
pitman arm or a tie rod could cause the specifications for
the toe out on turns to be out of spec. Vehilces with non
symmetrical steering systems will have a difference from
side to side, but the difference will not exceed the

manufacturer's specs and it rarely has a greater than 1.5
degrees difference from side to side.
8. When checking a tire, a tech find it to have too much
radial (up and down) runout. Tech A says to rotate the tire
and wheel assembly on the mounting studs to correct the
problem. Tech B says to rotate the tire on the wheel
assembly to attempt to bring the runout within specs.
Who is right?
A. Tech A Only
B. Tech B Only
C. Both A and B
C. Neither - correct answers✅B. Rotating the tire on
the wheel will compensate for wheel/tire differential
(positioning the highest spot on the tire at the lowest spot
on the wheel.) Whereas', rotating the wheel assembly on
the mounting studs will have no effect on runout.
9. If you readjust camber on the left front strut, which, if
any, of these specs might change
A. Right caster
B. Left toe and total toe
C. SAI
D. None of the above. - correct answers✅B.
