Technician A says that play in the steering gear is the probable cause of a shimmy. Technician B says that it could be loose steering linkage. Who is correct?
While discussing steering problems: Technician A says that a “jerky” steering wheel and a “clunking” noise could indicate worn steering column U-joints. Technician B says that lack of assist and a “growling” noise in a fluid-filled steering pump could indicate a hose or pump internal restriction. Who is correct?
Which of the following would NOT be cause for rejection when checking the power steering system?
System does not work or any hoses are chafed.
Any visible leaks (lines, hoses, steering box, rack and pinion, & hydro-boost if equipped).
Power steering belt(s) are missing, loose, frayed, or bind or contact other objects.
A clamp holding down a power steering line or hose is missing.

- When checking the front end, which of the following are NOT cause for rejection? Bearing cap is broken or missing or if there are any cracks or welded repairs to any components. Front axle is bent or gear box mounting is loose, bolts are missing, or bolts or case are cracked. All of the statements shown are cause for rejection. The steering damper leaks, is loose, mount is cracked/ broken, or is missing or steering shaft coupler/universal is binding, frayed, or cracked.arrow_forwardTech A says that camber changes as the suspension moves up and down. Tech B says that camber changes as the vehicle is loaded and the suspension sags under the weight. Who is correctarrow_forwardTech A says that the presence of a thrust angle can cause poor directional stability on ice, snow or a wet pavement.
