Final drive

What is the main role of the final drive and differential assembly in a vehicle?

• To improve fuel efficiency

• To increase the speed of the vehicle

• To reduce the weight of the vehicle

• To deliver torque smoothly to the wheels

Why are hypoid gear sets preferred over spiral bevel gear sets?

• They have fewer teeth

• They are lighter in weight

• They are stronger in design

• They are cheaper to produce

What is a hunting gear set?

• A gear set where each pinion tooth contacts all ring gear teeth

• A gear set used only in front-wheel drive vehicles

• A gear set with no contact between pinion and ring gear teeth

• A gear set where each pinion tooth contacts the same ring gear tooth repeatedly

How does the differential help during a vehicle's turn?

• It reduces the vehicle's weight

• It locks both wheels together

• It allows wheels to rotate at different speeds

• It increases the vehicle's speed

What happens if one wheel loses traction?

• Torque is transferred to the wheel with less resistance

• Torque is transferred to the wheel with traction

• Torque is evenly distributed to both wheels

• The vehicle stops moving
