MS2 Chassis remove and replace

Failure to record on the job card the full amount of time you have spent repairing a vehicle will:

• Increase the company costs and increase company profits

• Reduce the customers charges and reduce company profits

• Reduce company costs and increase company profits

• Increase the customers charges and reduce company profits

Which of the following faults could be caused by worn shock absorbers?

• Increase in braking distance

• Poor vehicle acceleration

• Reduced road spring oscillation

• Decrease in braking distance

A driver complains of steering wheel 'Shimmy' that gets worse as the vehicle's speed increases, This most likely indicates

• The tyre pressures are too high

• The front wheels need balancing

• The wheel wheel alignment needs adjusting

• The shock absorbers need replacing

In relation to steering geometry 'Negative offset' is produced when the

• Centre lines through both steering arms intersect at a point just in front of the rear axle

• Slip angles of the rear tyres are larger than the slip angles of the front tyres

• Centre line through the swivel pin intersects the centre line of the wheel below ground level

• Centre line through the swivel pin intersects the centre line of the wheel above ground level

The presence of air in the hydraulic system will cause

• A very spongy brake pedal during braking

• corrosion of the brake lines and pistons

• a significant reduction in braking efficiency

• the brake fluid to boil under prolonged braking

In the picture below of a brake calliper, what is the function of the component labelled 2?

• To hold the brake disc to the wheel

• to ensure the brake disc runs true

• To pull the pads away from the disc

• To push the brake pads against the disc

In vehcile suspesion what does the term 'dive' refer to?

• The dipping and rising of the vehicle on uneven road surfaces

• The lifting of the front of the vehicle during acceleration

• The leaning movement of the body when turning

• The dipping of the front of the vehicle during braking

In realtion to steering, 'Oversteer' is produced during cornering when the;

• Slip angles of the rear tyres are smaller than the slip angles of the front tyres

• Slip angles of the front tyres are the same as the slip angles of the rear tyres

• Slip angles of the rear tyres are larger than the slip angles of the front tyres

• Rear wheels of a car are carrying much less load than the front wheels

Which of the following faults will change the camber angle?

• Very high tyre pressures

• Unbalanced front wheels

• A buckled front wheel

• Incorrect toe setting

ONE advantage of alloy road wheels compared to steel road wheels is they

• Increase in unsprung weight

• Reduce unsprung weight

• Are cheap to manufacture

• Reduce heat transfer
