Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely true?


A) When the front wheels on a car have different caster settings, the car will pull toward the side with the most positive caster.
B) Negative caster is when the steering axis tilts forward, moving the point of load behind the wheel.
C) During a turn, caster can cause the spindle to move either toward or away from the ground, depending on whether the caster is negative or positive.
D) Caster is a directional control angle but does not cause tire wear when the vehicle is going straight.

____________________ is a measurement of the camber angle as it changes during a turn.

Correct Answer

Bent steering linkage will cause the toe setting to change. This affects the position of the steering wheel, which will now be off-center when traveling straight.

What is the function of steering axis inclination (SAI)?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

SAI has three functions: 1. After a turn, SAI helps the vehicle return to straight ahead. 2. SAI keeps the vehicle going straight down the road. Although positive caster does this as well, more positive caster makes it harder to steer. 3. SAI allows the vehicle to have less positive caster (for easier steering) while still having good directional stability.

Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely true?


A) Scrub radius is a factor of steering axis inclination.
B) Scrub radius is the pivot point for the front tire's footprint.
C) The junction of the steering axis and centerline pivot point is normally below the surface of the road.
D) RWD vehicles generally have negative scrub radius.

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:


A) a cambered tire tends to roll in a circle, as if it were at the large end of a cone.
B) positive camber is when a tire tilts inward at the top.
C) the camber angle is controlled by the position of the control arms or struts.
D) unequal camber between tires on opposite sides of the vehicle can cause a steering pull to the side with the most camber.

While having a discussion, Technician A says that when a vehicle has four-wheel alignment capability, the tendency to oversteer can be minimized by adjusting the camber on the rear wheels to a more negative setting than the front wheels. Technician B says that when tires of different profiles are installed on the same vehicle, the tires of the lower height are installed on the rear to prevent oversteer. Who is correct?


A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
