All of the following are functions of an automotive suspension system EXCEPT:
helps provide a smooth ride for passengers.
keeps tires in firm contact with the road.
allows the front wheels to turn from side to side for steering.
allows the body to tilt and squat when accelerating or heavily loaded.
Technician A says an automotive suspension system works with the steering system to help keep the wheels in correct alignment. Technician B says an automotive suspension system works independently of the steering system and has no effect on wheel alignment. Who is right?

All of the following are basic components of an automotive suspension system EXCEPT:
control arm.
steering knuckle.
internal control shaft.
shock absorber.
Technician A says an independent suspension system has both the right and left wheels attached to the same solid axle. Technician B says a nonindependent suspension system has both the right and left wheels attached to the same solid axle. Who is right?

Neither A nor B
Suspension leveling systems are being discussed. Technician A says in an electronic height leveling system, the rear suspension is lowered further when carrying a heavy load to improve vehicle aerodynamics. Technician B says height sensors provide data to the suspension control module that limits the vehicle’s speed when heavily loaded. Who is right?

B only
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
Electronic and active suspension systems are being discussed. Technician A says the vehicle’s steering angle sensor, brake sensor, and acceleration sensor are components in the electronic suspension system.
