Vehicles with rear- or mid-mounted engines always use a transaxle in the rear of the vehicle and transfer the drive to the road wheels by external drive half-shafts.

Select one:

Transverse front-wheel drive layout designs eliminate the need to transfer power _____ degrees, as with a rear-wheel drive arrangement.

On a three-quarter floating axle vehicle, the axle flange is bolted to the housing and stabilizes the wheel horizontally, while the vehicle's weight is supported by the hub and the bearing.

Torque steer can be caused by:

The purpose of axle seals is to ___________.

A reason to use the two-piece style driveshaft is because the angle of the U-joint may be too great if the driveshaft were just a single piece.

On all of the final drive assemblies manufactured today, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensor is incorporated in them.

In a rear-drive vehicle, the ring gear is bolted to:

If the driveshaft parts are not marked during disassembly, then an out-of-phase condition could result, and _________ will occur even if the driveshaft is in balance.

In all states, the law requires an inspection of the brakes that involves removal of the tires to gain access to the brake system at least once a year.

The removal process for drive axle shafts is always the same, whether for integral or removable carriers.

Differential fluid leaks are always caused by a plugged breather or vent tube in the housing, which causes a pressure buildup within the housing.

Limited slip differential _______ can result from clutch parts that are worn; in some cases, changing the limited slip lubricating oil fixes the problem.

Select one:

A contact pattern is made by using some type of ______ to make the pattern stand out.

In a differential, side bearing preload limits the amount of ______ movement that the ring gear can travel, whereas backlash sets the closeness of the ring gear into the pinion gear.

Select one:

Any excessive differential ring gear runout could be the result of debris caught between the ________ that was present upon assembly of the unit.

When installing any type of seal, it's a good practice to:

What is the purpose of the slip yoke on the driveshaft?

All of these are drivetrain components EXCEPT?

In vehicles with an independent rear suspension, the final drive unit is mounted on the chassis frame, and drive is transferred to each road wheel through external driveshafts (half-shafts), which have flexible joints on each end.

All of these apply to vehicles with live solid rear axles EXCEPT:

A(n) __________________ is necessary to measure driveline runout.

Tech A says that a driveshaft center bearing is used on a vehicle with a short driveshaft. Tech B says that a driveshaft center bearing has a rubber insert that can deteriorate. Who is correct?

Select one:

A transfer case is most often used in a(n):

______ transmits power to the front and rear drive axles at normal drive speed.

In all-wheel drive vehicles only two of the wheels are normally powered, typically the rear wheels.

Technician A says that in all-wheel-drive vehicles, locked differentials are used to ensure ease in driving around curves. Technician B says that a third set of differential gears is used to allow turning and driving into curves. Who is correct?

Select one:

Vacuum controls have rubber diaphragms in them, heat and moisture can cause them to deteriorate over time.
