IMI LV04 Wheels & Tyres Brakes, Suspension & Steering TEST 1

Which component reduces the amount of times a road spring will bounce after the wheel hits a bump?

• The hub

• The tyre

• The ball joint

• A damper

The vertical movement of the body of a vehicle, at the front then the back in turn, is called:

• sway

• bounce

• pitch

• roll

In order to stop safely, even if there is a serious hydraulic leak on one brake hose, cars are fitted with:

• a dual line system

• a brake servo

• a large fluid reservoir

• parallel master cylinders

An increase in braking distance can be caused by;

• worn gear change mechanism

• worn clutch mechanism

• worn crown wheel

• worn shock absorbers (dampers)

A rear suspension system consisting of a solid rear axle with a spring and damper on each side is called;

• non independent rear suspension

• torsion bar suspension

• adaptive suspension

• isolastic suspension

Why is 'ABS' fitted to vehicles?

• To stop shorter under all conditions

• To prevent wheel lock when braking

• To stop the brakes from getting overheated

• To brake quicker under all conditions

On inspection, brake fluid stains are evident near the brake system, what should be checked next?

• The brake fluid level

• The brake pad thickness

• The brake shoe thickness

• The brake hoses

What is the function of item number 7 in the illustration?

• To enable manual brake adjustment to be carried out

• To prevent brake squeak when worn

• To enable the brakes to be vented

• To transmit the force from the brake fluid to the brake pad

What does the term 'Hygroscopic' mean?

• Absorbs water from the atmosphere

• Corrosive to metal

• Boils and freezes easily

• Absorbs air from the atmosphere

In relation to checking and adjusting front wheel alignment, checks should be done in three wheel positions as this will show:

• the track rod ends are correctly screwed in place

• that the load is evenly distributed

• uneven tyre pressures

• if the wheels are buckled
