Chapter 40 Suspension Theory-Section 1-6

All of these act as common indicators for the problems in the suspension systems except:

• a bouncy ride

• a reduction in steering control

• noises when going over a bump

• improper transmission shifting

The components that are part of the sprung weight of a vehicle are:

• axles

• brakes

• steering parts are not supported by springs

• suspension parts supported by springs

The suspension system performs all of the following functions except:

• absorbing the large road forces generated while driving on non-perfect roads

• holding the wheels and tires in the proper orientation

• monitoring the tread wear of each tire

• supporting the weight of the chassis, drivetrain, passenger compartment, occupants, and any additional load

The movement around an imaginary line drawn down the center of the vehicle from front to back is called:

• yaw

• roll

• pitch

• rock

Which of the following dampen spring oscillations by forcing oil through small holes in a piston?

• Springs

• Shock Absorbers

• Control Arms

• Axles
