STEERING AND SUSPENSION CORE EXAMS TEST
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Technician A says that , when on-vehicle balancing a drive axle tire, the opposite
wheel must also be supported off the ground if the vehicle is equipped with a limited-slip
differential. Technician B says that rotating on-vehicle balanced tired presents no
special problems. Who is right? - ✔✔Technician A only
✔✔Technician A says that vehicle ride height is measured between the ground and the
rocker panel. Technician B says that ride height is measured between suspension
components. Who is right? - ✔✔Both A and B
Reason: allows consult manufacturers specifications
✔✔All of the following are sensors in a electronically controlled suspension system
Expect: - ✔✔Wheel speed sensors
Reason: some performance model they do modern the speed to lower the car on high
speeds .
✔✔A customer complains that his vehicle stalls repeatedly while parallel parking.
Technician A says that the AC valve is most likely cause. Technician B says that the
power steering pressure sensor is at fault. Who is right ? - ✔✔Technician B only
Reason: Parallel repeatedly which parallel parking . If bad , IAC valve it will stall all the
time
✔✔An upper control arm is being f removed from a late model vehicle with SLA
suspension. Technician A says that lower arm should be supported with a jack stand
close to the ball joint. Technician B says that the coil springs must be compressed with
a springs compressed. Who is right - ✔✔Technician A one
✔✔A vehicle pulls to the right during braking. Technician A says that the problem is in
the brake system, and the pull is most likely due to brake fluid on the lining or seized
caliper piston . Technician B says that the pull could be caused by worn right side strut
rod bushing . Who is right ? - ✔✔Both A and B
✔✔On a vehicle with conventional steering gear and parallelogram steering linkage , an
incorrect toe setting can be caused by all of the following EXPECT: - ✔✔Too little worm
bearing preload
✔✔All of the following are true statement regarding tapered wheel bearing Expect: -
✔✔They are mostly used on drive axles
, Reason : that would be correct would expect on a full flooded rear end assembly
✔✔Technician A says an electric/electronic power steering system uses inputs from
various sensors to deliver the proper amount of power assist . Technician B says the
steering turning programmed into the system control module determines the degree of
power assist . who is right ? - ✔✔Both A and B
✔✔Technician A says an indirect measurement TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) use wheel speed sensors to measure tire pressure. Technician B
says a direct measurement TPMS uses tire pressure sensors to measure tire pressure.
Who is right ? - ✔✔Technician B only
Reason: indirect in TPMS tire system monitor the ABS sensor for wheel speed to see if
any of the tire are low. The tire that is low would spin slower than the rest
✔✔When replacing an integral hub/bearing assembly on a front wheel drive vehicle, all
of the following must be removed EXPECT. - ✔✔Steering Knuckle
✔✔The included angle is equal to - ✔✔SAI plus camber
✔✔Technician A says the measurement shown above will be incorrect if the wheel
bearings are loose. Technician B says if the measurements shown above is excessive,
it could be due to a wheel hub. Who is right? - ✔✔Both A and B
✔✔The K diameter shown above is below specification. Technician A says the rear
shock absorbers should be replaced . Technician B says the rear springs should be
replaced . Who is right ? - ✔✔Technician B only
✔✔A vehicle with SLA-type suspension is being aligned. Caster and camber are
adjusted using shims between the frame and upper control arm shaft . Technician A
says that arranging shins to move the upper control arm toward the rear of the vehicle
will increase caster. Technician B says that shimming the control arm out the frame will
decrease camber. who is right? - ✔✔Technician A only
Reason: SAI camber
(Caster , camber , toe-in )
✔✔All four tires on a vehicle and indirect TPMS below inflation specification by equal
amount and the TPMS warning light did not illuminate. Technician A the wheel speed
sensors should be checked. Technician B says that all four sensors could be bad and
that the problem is with the TPMS control module. Who is right? - ✔✔Neither A or B
✔✔The above alignment setting would results in which of following conditions -
✔✔Right tire wear on the inside, vehicle pulls to the left
