STEERING AND SUSPENSION

When lubricating the front suspension,

• The grease zerks (fittings) should be wiped clean before greasing

• Any type of grease may be used

• The ball joint should be greased until the grease comes out of the joint

• The engine should be running

If a front wheel has radial movement, but the ball joints check good, what would be the most likely cause?

• A worn idler arm

• A bad tie rod end

• Loose wheel bearings

• Bad pitman arm

Camber is the

• forward and backward tilt of the steering axis

• inward or outward tilt of the wheel at the top

• inward or outward tilt of the wheel in the front

• none of the above

As part of a pre-alignment inspection, the technician should check

• tire pressure

• riding height

• ball joints

• all of the above

The number 205 in the (P205/75R15) tireinformation indicates the tire

• section width

• section height

• pressure

• load rating

The modified MacPherson strut rear suspension is very common in

• Front-wheel drive cars

• Rear-wheel drive cars

• Pickup trucks

• Station wagons

Extreme tire wear on the inside edge of the tire tread indicates excessive

• positive caster

• negative caster

• positive camber

• negative camber

Excessive positive camber will cause tire wear around

• both inner and outer edges

• the center

• the inner edge

• the outer edge
