- Explain the purpose of the wheel rim drop center and safety ridges.arrow_forwardWhile driving straight, a FWD car pulls to the right. The most likely cause is. more positive camber on the left front wheel compared to the right front wheel sagged front springs and improper front-wheel toe setting less positive caster on the right front wheel compared to the left front wheel the SAI on the right front wheel is 1*A degrees more than the SAI on the left.arrow_forwardWhile diagnosing the cause of wheel shimmy: Technician A says that this problem can be caused by loose wheel bearings. Technician B says that this can be caused by binding steering column U-joints. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- All of these statements about improper wheel balance are true except? a. Dynamic imbalance may cause wheel shimmy. b. Dynamic imbalance may cause steering pull in either direction. c. Static imbalance causes wheel tramp. d. Static imbalance causes rapid wear on suspension components.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that a prerequisite to accurate road-testing analysis is knowing what planetary controls are applied in a particular gear range. Technician B says that all slipping conditions can be traced to a leaking hydraulic circuit. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing a pressure test: Technician A says that this test is the most valuable diagnostic check for slippage when a gear is engaged. Technician B says that the test can identify the cause of late or harsh shifting. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- While diagnosing the cause of noise from a transfer case: Technician A says that a probable cause is incorrect tire size. Technician B says that the most probable cause is a faulty bearing or gear. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardIn what direction must the bottom of a tire and wheel assembly be moved to add more positive camber?arrow_forwardTechnician 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?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardWhat tyre wear pattern will result from excessive negative camber?(Automotive cert.4)arrow_forwardTech A says that negative caster provides directional stability. Tech B says that positive caster results from excessive positive camber. Who is correctarrow_forward
