There are two main types of steering systems used on vehicles today. They include:

Select one:

On a four-wheel steering system, the _____ turns the wheels when commanded by the steering control module.

Select one:

Two technicians are discussing rack and pinion steering systems. Technician A says that the rack is directly connected to the upper and lower ball joints. Technician B says that the rack is directly connected to the tie-rod assembly. Who is correct?

Select one:

The sensors in the ________ provide information to a steering control module for electric power steering assist or for the electronic stability control system.

Select one:

Technician A says modern vehicle steering columns are now fitted with a collapsible section to reduce driver injury during a collision. Technician B says that some steering columns use an intermediate shaft to prevent the impact force from being transferred directly to the column. Who is correct?

Select one:

In modern computer-controlled four-wheel steering, an actuator similar to a front rack-and-pinion assembly attaches to the rear steering knuckles with tie-rod ends.

Select one:

Reduction ratio is measured in:

Select one:

Power-assisted steering uses a(n) _________ that aids the driver in turning the wheel.

Select one:

Steering ratio is not the same on all vehicles and is designed by engineers to provide the best steering response for the vehicle.

Select one:

Technician A says a tie-rod assembly consists of an inner and outer tie-rod end. Technician B says the inner tie-rod is threaded onto the rack and forms a rigid, nonflexible connection. Who is correct?

Select one:

The steering box converts the rotary motion of the steering wheel into:

Select one:

Tech A says that the pressure relief valve maintains a preset minimum pressure in the system. Tech B says that the pressure relief valve prevents excessive pressure. Who is correct?

Select one:

Tech A says that some manufacturers specify automatic transmission fluid in their power steering system. Tech B says that in a power steering system, the force needed to steer the wheels is created by the hydraulic pump or electric motor. Who is correct?

Select one:

Tech A says that you can use any fluid in a power steering pump, as they are all the same. Tech B says that you must use the correct type and brand of fluid by manufacturer. Who is correct?

Select one:

The Ackermann principle is applied in steering geometry to:

Select one:

The rubber bellows protects the rack & pinion inner tie rod joints from dirt and contaminants.

Select one:

The relationship between the steering system, the wheel positions, and the suspension system is called the:

Select one:

The power steering pump reservoir is:

Select one:

The _______ power steering pump also applies assist to hydraulic brakes on some vehicles.

Select one:

In an electronic power steering system (EPS), the engine still contributes power to the steering system through demand on the alternator of the vehicle, but it is greatly reduced from that of hydraulic power steering systems.
