Automotive Steering System Quiz

What does Bump Steer refer to?

• A steering arrangement that ensures the inner wheel turns at a sharper angle

• A phenomenon where the wheels steer themselves as the suspension moves up and down

• The angle of the wheels in relation to the vertical axis

• A bar that connects the pitman arm to the idler arm

What is Camber?

• The angle of the wheels in relation to the vertical axis when viewed from the front of the vehicle

• A steering setup where the drag link crosses the vehicle’s centerline

• A linkage that connects the pitman arm to the steering arm

• A system that allows the rear wheels to turn in conjunction with the front wheels

What is the purpose of the Centre Link?

• A bar that connects the pitman arm to the idler arm

• A shaft that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear or box
