Which of the following statements is correct? 

• Most front-wheel drive vehicles use a positive scrub radius. 

• Scrub radius is a measure of how small a circle the vehicle can turn in when the steering wheel is turned to the limit.

• True

All the following statements with respect to suspension systems are true EXCEPT:

• an electronic stethoscope is the best tool for diagnosing caster angle problems. 

• if one of the front tires is low, it may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. 

• a four-wheel alignment is needed to verify the alignment angles. 

• torque steer is a pull that occurs during heavy acceleration. 

A vehicle with camber pull will pull in the direction of the greatest negative camber. 

• True
