Explain the primary operational difference between a full time and a part time four wheel drive (4WD) system.
What results from having different axle ratios on thefront and rear of a 4WD vehicle when it is operatingin 4WD?a. Poor handling on dry surfacesb. Driveline windupc, Mechanical damage to the drivelined. All of the above
Technician A says that on FWD vehicles, the front wheels toe-out while the rear wheels on an independent suspension try to toe-in as the vehicle moves ahead. Technician B says that on RWD vehicles, the front wheels tend to toe-in while the rear wheels toe-out in response to rolling resistance as suspension compliance. Who is correct?
