Suspension and Steering Components

What is the impact of improper camber on tire wear?

• Improper camber can lead to uneven tire wear, causing tires to wear out more quickly on one side.

• Improper camber has no effect on tire wear.

• Improper camber can improve tire wear by distributing weight evenly.

• Improper camber can cause tires to wear out more slowly on both sides.

What is a sway bar?

• A component that helps reduce body roll during turns by linking opposite wheels together.

• A device used to increase engine power.

• A type of suspension system that enhances ride comfort.

• A safety feature that prevents skidding on wet roads.
