Chapter 45, Problem 4ASRQ
Technician A says that replacement wheel rims should be the same as the original equipment wheels in load capacity, offset, width, diameter, and mounting configuration. Technician B says that if wheels are installed that have a different stock width or diameter, make sure to use a tire that has the same overall width as the original tires. Otherwise the vehicle’s wheel-speed sensors, speedometer, antiock brake system, and many other systems will be affected. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
Neither A nor B

Technician A says that on most vehicles, the wheel/tire assembly is considered sprung weight . Technician B says that low unsprung weight makes the vehicle handle better on irreg ular surfaces. Who is correct?
Technician a says radial ply tires are more rigid in the sidewall area than bias ply tires. Technician b says the belts in a radial tire restrict tread motion during contact with the road thus improving tread life in traction. who is correct
Technician A says that the front bearing assembly locknuts for RWD vehicles are typically heavily torqued to maintain the bearing adjustment. Technician B says that the axle nuts for FWD wheel bearing assembly is often staked in place to maintain its specified torque. Who is correct?
