SECOND HAND STEERING AND SUSPENSION
1. The circuit to the airbag inflation module is connected from
the steering column to the steering wheel through which
component?: Clockspring
2. Technician A says that the steering system changes rotary
motion into lat- eral motion. Technician B says that steering
ratio is influenced by the number of teeth on the worm gear.
Which technician is correct?: Both Technicians
3. A driver of a vehicle equipped with a rack and pinion
steering gear com- plains that the steering wheel jerks
whenever the vehicle is being driven into a curbed driveway.
Technician A says that the rack and pinion gears may have too
little clearance between the teeth of the gears. Technician B
says that a lack of lubrication of the rack and pinion is the
most likely cause. Which technician is correct?: Neither
Technician
4. Technician A says that vehicle manufacturers use break
away steering column mounting brackets to protect the driver
in an accident. Technician B says that vehicle manufacturers
are required to use collapsible shafts in the steering column.
Which Technician is correct?: Both Technicians
5. What component helps isolate road forces and vibration
from the steering shaft?: Flexible coupling
6. Steering components are connected by .: Ball and socket joints
7. How much end play is generally acceptable in tie rod ends?:
Zero
8. Technician A says that torque prevailing nuts can be reused
unless dam- aged. Technician B says that a new cotter key
should always be used. Which technician is correct?: Technician
B only
9. What purpose does the flexible coupling attached to the
steering column serve?: Acts as a collapsible part of the steering
shaft,
Changes direction of movement
10.Technician A says that the horn is wired in parallel with the
horn switch. Technician B says that a relay is commonly used
1/7
, to control horn operation. Which technician is correct?:
Technician B only
11.Technician A says that the pitman arm is connected to the
steering gear. Technician B says that an idler arm is used with
all rack and pinion steering linkages. Which technician is
correct?: Technician A only
12.Which conventional steering gear adjustment should be
the first per- formed?: Worm bearing preload
13. Two technicians are discussing bump steer. Technician A
says that an unlevel steering linkage can be its cause.
Technician B says that if the
