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?
Technician A says that leaf spring type suspensions are subject to wheel tramp. Technician B says that anti sway bars are designed to limit wheel tramp. Who is correct?
Technician A days that a weak suspension spring can cause a loss of traction during acceleration. Technician B says that a weak suspension spring can cause poor braking power. Who is correct?
