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:

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:

Mechanical joints and bushings, as well as ________, wear over time, decreasing in functionality and eventually failing.

Select one:

______ are used to measure the runout or movement on different parts of the steering system, such as play in tie-rod ends.

Select one:

If you do not know where the center point of the clock spring is, you can carefully turn the clock spring in the correct direction, counting the number of total turns until it reaches the end, then move back ______ that number of turns.

Select one:

One method for checking for leaks is to clean all power steering fluid off the affected parts of the vehicle and then run it for a little while to see where the leak is originating from.

Select one:

What tool is being used to measure tie rod play?

Technician A says power steering pressure hose leaks can be catastrophic because the fluid is being actively pumped and the fluid could spray all over the hot engine and exhaust system which could cause a fire. Technician B says there will be no noise or warning if the fluid level is very low and the steering will feel fine. Who is correct?

Select one:

If the fluid level gets low enough, it can cause a ______ noise when driving.
