Questions and Answers

A vehicle is brought in with a bent subframe. Technician A says to section the subframe. Technician B

says the subframe should not be repaired and must be replaced. Who is right?




A, B, Both, or Neither - Ans:✔✔-Technician B only

C. start the engine and pump the brakes


D. start the wheel farthest from the master cylinder - Ans:✔✔-B. check the master cylinder fluid level

Technician A says that negative camber is the tilt of the tire toward the front of the vehicle. Technician B

says that negative camber means that the top of the tire is tipped in toward the centerline of the vehicle.

Who is right?




A, B, Both, or Neither - Ans:✔✔-Technician B only

B. replace the oil with new oil


C. ignore such a small amount of new oil


D. change all the oil in the system - Ans:✔✔-B. replace the oil with new oil

components replaced.


A vehicle has positive caster on the right front wheel and zero caster on the front left wheel. Technician A

says this will cause the vehicle to pull left. Technician B says the vehicle will pull to the right. Who is

right?




A, B, Both, or Neither - Ans:✔✔-A. Technician A only

of negative caster.

C. a damaged lower control arm

After repairing a vehicle, it is found that camber is out of spec on one side of the vehicle. Technician A

says that there might be suspension mounting locations out of spec. Technician B says that before

adjusting camber, SAI and included angle should be checked and compared side-to-side. Who is right?




A, B, Both, or Neither - Ans:✔✔-Both Technician A and B.
