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?
List the various methods used by traction control systems to eliminate wheel spin.
Tech A says that the presence of a thrust angle can cause poor directional stability on ice, snow or a wet pavement. Tech B says that it can also increase tire wear because the front wheels fight the rear ones for steering control, Who is correct
