Differential Gears do not allow for the wheels to turn at different speeds.

Differential pinion gears can be damaged by all of the following EXCEPT:

Vehicle vibrations may result from all of the following EXCEPT:

Seals can develop leaks, which can cause bearings to _________.

Lack of lubrication will not usually result in failure of all the differential bearings, requiring a complete overhaul if the low fluid concern is not promptly addressed.

The ___________ is held on by a large nut that also sets the preload for the pinion gear on crush sleeve types.

Technician A says that when disassembling a differential case, it's good practice to first measure ring gear runout. Technician B says that when overhauling a differential, it's good practice to save the crush sleeve for reuse. Who is correct?

The differential ring gear rotates and drives the differential pinion.

The forces on the pinion gear are tremendous in that the driveshaft, which is connected to it, transmits the power to all of the following EXCEPT:

Tech A says when setting pinion bearing preload, the carrier assembly should be bolted into the axle. Tech B says setting pinion bearing preload is necessary to seat the pinion bearings. Who is correct?

Technician A says that in some all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, normally only the front wheels are driven. Technician B says that in some AWD vehicles, all four wheels are driven all of the time. Who is correct?

Newer designs in pickup trucks and SUVs use constant-velocity (CV) joint type front axles.

In a 4-wheel drive vehicle, final drives are found:

Technician A says that some front differentials are operated by a vacuum motor. Technician B says that some front differentials are operated by electric motors. Who is correct?

Select one:

Backlash is the amount of movement between the differential pinion gear teeth & the differential ring gear teeth.

What are the two most common types of limited slip differentials in use?

A vehicle with ______________ will overcome the loss of traction by applying more power to the wheel that is not slipping by applying the brake on the wheel that is slipping.

The ___________________ assembly provides the final gear reduction necessary for drivetrain operation

Preventive maintenance of a final drive assembly, regardless of its design, is important, as these axles are filled with special lubricants that promote long life and maintain quiet operation of the gears.

The clutch-style limited slip differential uses a multi-plate clutch pack between each side gear and the differential case.

Select one:

Technician A says that threaded rings are used to set the carrier bearing preload in some differentials. Technician B says that shims are used to adjust carrier bearing preload in some vehicles. Who is correct?

Technician A says that the final drive assembly can be found in the front of the vehicle or the rear of the vehicle. Technician B says that the final drive assembly will be found only in the rear of the vehicle. Who is correct?

Select one:

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

Technician A says that when a vehicle is going straight, the side gears rotate two times faster than the pinion gears. Technician B says that when a vehicle is going straight, the pinion and side gears are going the same speed. Who is correct?

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

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

Vehicles with independent rear suspension have:

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.

In some rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles, the rear U-joint connects directly to a(n)

On a semi-floating axle vehicle, the axle flange is bolted to the housing, while the vehicle's weight is supported by the hub & bearing.

The ___________ does not provide any drive capabilities and is used on the rear of front-wheel drive vehicles.

What Type of gearset does not need to be aligned

A gearset with a ratio of 3.5 would be classified as

The backlash is less than specifications (too low). This will cause the ring gear tooth pattern to be too close to the

Break-away torque is the turning force at which wheels begin to slip.
