The suspension part in this picture is a/an:
- A.
Upper Arm
- B.
Stabilizer Bar
- C.
Knuckle
- D.
Ball Joint
Correct Answer
B. Stabilizer BarExplanation
The suspension part in the picture is a stabilizer bar. A stabilizer bar, also known as a sway bar or anti-roll bar, is a component of a vehicle's suspension system that helps to reduce body roll and stabilize the vehicle during cornering. It connects the left and right sides of the suspension together, providing resistance to the movement of the suspension on one side when the other side is compressed. This helps to improve the vehicle's handling and stability while driving.Rate this question:

This type of suspension is better known as:
- A.
Double Wishbone
- B.
MacPherson Strut
- C.
Multi-Link without Trailing Arm
- D.
Multi-Link with Trailing Arm
Correct Answer
D. Multi-Link with Trailing ArmExplanation
Multi-Link with Trailing Arm is a type of suspension system commonly used in modern vehicles. It consists of multiple control arms that connect the wheel hub to the chassis, providing better control and stability. The trailing arm helps to maintain the alignment of the wheel during acceleration and braking, improving overall handling and ride comfort. This type of suspension is often found in high-performance and luxury cars due to its superior handling characteristics.Rate this question:

MacPherson Strut
- C.
Double Wishbone
- D.
Multi-Link without Trailing Arm
Correct Answer
C. Double WishboneExplanation
The correct answer is Double Wishbone. Double wishbone suspension is a type of independent suspension system commonly used in automobiles. It consists of two wishbone-shaped arms that are connected to the wheel hub and the chassis. This design allows for better control over the wheel movement and provides improved handling and stability. The double wishbone suspension is often used in high-performance vehicles due to its ability to maintain optimal tire contact with the road surface, resulting in enhanced traction and cornering capabilities.Rate this question:

- A.
Double Wishbone
- B.
Multi-Link without Trailing Arm
- C.
Multi-Link with Trailing Arm
- D.
MacPherson Strut
Correct Answer
B. Multi-Link without Trailing ArmExplanation
Multi-Link without Trailing Arm is a type of suspension system that uses multiple control arms to connect the wheel hub to the chassis. This design allows for independent movement of each wheel, providing better handling and stability. Unlike the Multi-Link with Trailing Arm suspension, which includes a trailing arm to control wheel movement, the Multi-Link without Trailing Arm design does not have this additional component. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is Multi-Link without Trailing Arm.Rate this question:

In a front Double Wishbone suspension, which component allows the front steering knuckle to rotate on its axis?
- A.
Lower Control Arm
- B.
Rubber Bushings
- C.
Bearing in the upper strut mount
- D.
Ball Joints
- E.
Upper Control Arm
Correct Answer
D. Ball JointsExplanation
Ball joints allow the front steering knuckle to rotate on its axis in a front Double Wishbone suspension. Ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckle, allowing for smooth and controlled movement of the suspension system. They provide flexibility and allow the wheels to turn and move up and down as needed while maintaining stability and control.Rate this question:

In a front MacPherson Strut suspension, which component(s) allows the front steering knuckle to rotate on its axis?
- A.
Lower Control Arm
- B.
Rubber Bushings
- C.
Bearing in the upper strut mount
- D.
Ball Joints
- E.
Upper Control Arm
Correct Answer(s)
C. Bearing in the upper strut mount
D. Ball JointsExplanation
In a front MacPherson Strut suspension, the component that allows the front steering knuckle to rotate on its axis is the bearing in the upper strut mount. This bearing provides a smooth and controlled rotation of the knuckle, allowing for proper steering and suspension movement. Ball joints, on the other hand, connect the steering knuckle to the control arms and allow for vertical movement. The other components listed, such as the lower control arm, rubber bushings, and upper control arm, do not directly contribute to the rotation of the steering knuckle.Rate this question:

Which component controls suspension oscillations?
- A.
Ball Joints
- B.
Springs
- C.
Dampers
- D.
Rubber Bushings
Correct Answer
C. DampersExplanation
Dampers control suspension oscillations by absorbing and dissipating the energy generated by the movement of the suspension system. They help in controlling the up and down movement of the suspension, preventing excessive bouncing or oscillations. Springs provide support and help in maintaining the ride height, while ball joints and rubber bushings are components that connect different parts of the suspension system but do not directly control the oscillations.Rate this question:

What component allows the control arms to pivot at the body attachment points?
- A.
Rubber Bushings
- B.
Springs
- C.
Bearing in the upper strut mount
- D.
The control arms do not move at the body attachment points
- E.
Upper Control Arm
Correct Answer
D. The control arms do not move at the body attachment pointsExplanation
The control arms do not move at the body attachment points because they are fixed in place. The control arms are connected to the body of the vehicle through bushings, which allow them to pivot and move in response to the suspension system. Therefore, the correct answer is "Rubber Bushings".Rate this question:

Which of the following statements are true about subframes? Check all that apply:
- A.
They isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the body
- B.
They provide additional support and rigidity to the vehicle body
- C.
They decrease body roll during cornering
- D.
They contain suspension mounting points
Correct Answer(s)
A. They isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the body
B. They provide additional support and rigidity to the vehicle body
D. They contain suspension mounting pointsExplanation
Subframes are structural components that are separate from the main body of a vehicle. They are designed to provide additional support and rigidity to the vehicle body, which helps improve overall stability and handling. Additionally, subframes contain suspension mounting points, which are crucial for connecting the suspension system to the rest of the vehicle. Another important function of subframes is that they isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the body, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride.Rate this question:

In the event of high fluid demand at the rack, what component allows additional fluid to flow? Choose the best answer from the options bellow.
- A.
Valve Body Unit
- B.
Reservoir
- C.
Rotary Valve
- D.
Flow Control Valve
- E.
Power Steering Pump
Correct Answer
B. ReservoirExplanation
The reservoir is the component that allows additional fluid to flow in the event of high fluid demand at the rack. The reservoir stores the power steering fluid and provides a constant supply of fluid to the system. When the demand for fluid increases, the reservoir releases more fluid to ensure that the system has an adequate supply. The other options, such as the valve body unit, rotary valve, flow control valve, and power steering pump, are not specifically designed to allow additional fluid to flow in high demand situations.Rate this question:

In a Michellin tire P225/50R16 87S : What percentage of the tire is the height?
- A.
16%
- B.
50%
- C.
225
- D.
3"
Correct Answer
B. 50%Explanation
The height of the tire is represented by the number 50 in the tire specification P225/50R16 87S. The height is given as a percentage of the tire's width, which is represented by the number 225. Therefore, the correct answer is 50%, as it represents the percentage of the tire's width that the height is.Rate this question:

How do you adjust the toe?
- A.
Through the outer struts
- B.
Through the terminals
- C.
Through the trailing arms
- D.
Through the steering shaft
Correct Answer
B. Through the terminalsExplanation
Adjusting the toe refers to the process of aligning the wheels so that they are parallel to each other. This adjustment is typically done by adjusting the tie rod ends, which are connected to the steering knuckle through the terminals. By turning the terminals, the length of the tie rod can be adjusted, which in turn changes the angle of the wheels and allows for toe adjustment. Therefore, adjusting the toe is done through the terminals.Rate this question:
