Test #1 Questions and Answers |100%
Pass

A device that is used on suspensions to primarily absorb energy and dampen suspension

oscillation is called:


A. An equalizer bracket.


B. A torque rod.


C. A spring.


D. A shock absorber. - Answer✔✔-Answer A is incorrect. An equalizer bracket is used to mount

and house the equalizer.


Answer B is incorrect. The torque arm is used to control axle rotational forces and to maintain

and adjust axle alignment.


Answer C is incorrect. The spring assemblies distribute the vehicle load across the frame and

provide a cushion between the road surface and the vehicle.


Answer D is correct. Shock absorbers dampen spring oscillation by limiting the effects of spring

jounce and rebound.

Upon inspection, excessive play in the steering column assembly on a truck equipped with a tilt

steering column is noted. Which of the following would be the LEAST LIKELY cause?


A. Loose lock shoe in the support


B. Faulty anti-lash spring in the centering sphere


C. Loose tilt head pivot pins


D. Column mounting bracket bolts loose - Answer✔✔-Answer A is incorrect. Tilt mechanisms

are designed to allow for the column to be adjusted and then held securely in that position by

the lock shoe mechanism. If the lock shoe pin and wedge lock components are worn, excessive

movement in the steering column would be the result.


Answer B is correct. A faulty anti-lash spring might cause the housing to be loose, but it would

not cause excessive play in the steering column assembly.


Answer C is incorrect. The main housing pivots on the pivot screws located on each side of the

main housing support bracket. If the pins become worn, the steering column would have

excessive movement because the pivot pins are not holding the column securely in place.


Answer D is incorrect. The column mounting bolt bracket secures the column. If the bracket

bolts become loose, the column would shift and have movement in the steering column

assembly.


Referring to the figure above, when checking a tie rod end for wear which procedure is correct?


A. Use a 2 x 4 to pry on the cross tube.

B. Use a dial indicator and hydraulic jack.


C. Use up and down hand force to check for wear.


D. Use a feeler gauge to check for wear. - Answer✔✔-Answer A is incorrect. Excessive leverage

might be applied using a 2 x 4 and might damage the tie rod socket.


Answer B is incorrect. A dial gauge is used to measure wear, but a hydraulic jack should never be

used to check for movement.


Answer C is correct. Hand pressure should only be used to check for movement.


Answer D is incorrect. Wear is measured with a dial indicator, not a feeler gauge.


While discussing steering system components, Technician A states that a typical single-axle truck

system has one Ackerman arm. Technician B says that the Ackerman arm controls turning

radius. Who is correct?


A. A only


B. B only


C. Both A and B


D. Neither A nor B - Answer✔✔-Answer A is incorrect. There are two Ackerman arms in the

steering system.


Answer B is correct. Only Technician B is correct. Ackerman arms control the turning radius and

allow for each front wheel to rotate on different arcs while turning.


Answer C is incorrect. Only Technician B is correct.

A driver complains that after hitting a bump his vehicle suddenly veers to the right or left.


Which of these is the LEAST LIKELY cause?


A. A loose idler arm


B. A damaged relay rod


C. A worn tie rod end


D. A wheel out of balance - Answer✔✔-Answer A is incorrect, A loose idler arm will cause

fluctuation in the steering when striking a bump.


Answer B is incorrect. A damaged relay rod can cause veering when striking a bump because of

looseness in the ball joint end of the relay rod.


Answer C is incorrect. A worn tie rod end can cause veering when striking a bump because of

looseness in the ball joint end of the tie rod.


Answer D is correct. Wheel balance will not cause veering, only a shaking in the steering wheel.


The alignment angle that is LEAST LIKELY to cause the greatest tire wear is:


A. Castor.


B. Turning radius.


C. Toe-in.
