Technician B says if the lubricant level is low in a linkage-assist type power steering column, there will be a noise when turning the steering wheel. Who is right?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \n2) A sport utility vehicle has high steering effort. Technician A says this could be caused by a sheared shift tube. Technician N says the steering column assembly is misaligned. Who is correct?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \n3) Technician A says whenever working on the steering column, consult the online service information for the recommended airbag disabling procedure. Technician B says the Ujoint or flexible coupling must be removed before the steering wheel can be removed. Who is right?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \n4) This question has the word LEAST. For this question, look for the choice that would  \nLEAST LIKELY cause the described condition. Read the entire question before choosing your answer. When driving a vehicle at 40 MPH there is a vibration in the steering wheel. Which of the following is the LEAST likely cause?  \na. Improper wheel balance  \nb. Worn control arm bushings  \nc. Bent wheel  \nd. Shifted belt inside tire  \n5) On an integral power steering gear, which of the following indicates excessive play between the rack piston and sector?  \na. Lost motion within steering gear  \nb. Steering wheel vibration  \nc. Hard steering condition when cold  \nd. Hard steering condition when hot  \nSuspension Systems Diagnosis and Repair  \n6) Two technicians are discussing vehicle ride height. Technician A says when the vehicle ride height is too low the vehicle could pull to that side. Technician B says ride height does not affect front camber. Who is right?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \n7) Two technicians are discussing the ride height measuring procedure. Technician A says bent components can cause incorrect ride height. Technician B says for proper measurement of the ride height, the vehicle must have a full tank. Who is correct?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \n8) When replacing lower control arm bushings on a short arm long arm (SLA) suspension, the replacement should be:  \na. Tightened and torqued in a vise  \nb.

Torqued with control arm resting on frame  \n9) Which of the following conditions is likely to indicate a worn control arm bushing?  \na. Ball joint play  \nb. Front suspension sag  \nc. Rubber bushing is cracked  \nd. Fails the bounce test  \n10) Two technicians are discussing the replacement of a rebound or jounce bumper.  \nTechnician A says if a vehicle fails the jounce test the cause is a defective jounce bumper. Technician B says you need to remove the lower ball joint to replace the jounce bumper on a SLA suspension. Who is right?  \na. A only  \nb. B only  \nc. Both A and B  \nd. Neither A nor B  \nRelated Steering and Suspension Service  \n11) When a shock absorber is to be considered for replacement due to a fluid leak, which of the following applies?  \na. It must show an oil film on the outside  \nb. It fails the bounce test  \nc. It should be weighed to determine if it is low on oil  \nd. It should be removed and inverted to see ifit drips oil  \n12) This question has the word EXCEPT. For this question, look for the choice that could NOT meet the described situation. Read the entire question carefully before choosing your answer. All of the following statements about a conventional shock absorber are true EXCEPT:  \na. A slight oil leakage film is considered normal  \nb. A worn or leaking shock will not cause a vehicle to lean  \nc. Purge the air from new shocks before installing  \nd.","cbCaipyIRQKUMLCN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipyIRQKUMLCN","pdf",38379,"English","# Steering and Suspension\n## Steering Systems Diagnosis and Repair\n## Suspension Systems Diagnosis and Repair\n## Related Steering and Suspension Service\n## Wheel Alignment Diagnosis, Adjustment and Repair","[{\"question\":\"In steering column noise questions, how do the technicians decide who is correct?\",\"answer\":\"They compare specific conditions described in the question with the corresponding cause for noise during steering wheel operation.
