Failure to record onto the job card the full amount of time you have spent repairing a vehicle will:
increase company costs and increase company profits
reduce the customer's charges and reduce company profits
reduce company costs and increase company profits
increase the customer's charges and reduce company profits
Which of the following faults could be caused by worn shock absorbers?
Increase in braking distance
Poor vehicle acceleration
Reduced road spring oscillation
Decrease in braking distance
A driver complains of steering wheel 'shimmy' that gets worse as the vehicle's speed increases. This most likely indicates:
the tyre pressures are too high
the front wheels need balancing
the wheel alignment needs adjusting
the shock absorbers need replacing
In relation to steering geometry 'Negative Offset' is produced when the:
centre lines through both steering arms intersect at a point just in front of the rear axle
slip angles of the rear tyres are larger than the slip angles of the front tyres
centre line through the swivel pin intersects the centre line of the wheel below ground level
centre line through the swivel pin intersects the centre line of the wheel above ground level
The presence of air in a hydraulic braking system will cause:
a very 'spongy' brake pedal during braking
corrosion of the brake lines and pistons
a significant reduction in braking efficiency
the brake fluid to boil under prolonged braking
In vehicle suspension what does the term ‘dive’ refer to?
The dipping and rising of the vehicle on uneven road surfaces
The lifting of the front of the vehicle during acceleration
The leaning movement of the body when turning
The dipping of the front of the vehicle during braking
In relation to steering, 'oversteer' is produced during cornering when the:
slip angles of the rear tyres are smaller than the slip angles of the front tyres
slip angles of the front tyres are the same as the slip angles of the rear tyres
slip angles of the rear tyres are larger than the slip angles of the front tyres
rear wheels of a car are carrying much less load than the front wheels
Which of the following faults will change the camber angle?
Very high tyre pressures
Unbalanced front wheels
A buckled front wheel
Incorrect toe setting
ONE advantage of alloy road wheels compared with steel road wheels is they:
increase unsprung weight
reduce unsprung weight
are cheap to manufacture
reduce heat transfer
In relation to steering geometry, the purpose of the 'castor angle' is to:
allow for the deflection of the wheels
provide self centering of the steering
provide toe-out on turns when cornering
provide centre point steering layout
When carrying out a routine vehicle service you should:
the customer can be contacted to get their authority to do the extra work
you can't be blamed if the vehicle goes wrong after you have done the service
you show to your supervisor that you are observant and knowledgeable
the additional parts required can be ordered without any further delay
In relation to steering geometry 'camber angle' is defined as:
the outward or inward tilt of the road wheel
the angle between the kingpin and the wheel
the backward tilt of the kingpin or swivel pin
the inward tilt of the kingpin or swivel pin
In the picture of a brake caliper, what is the function of the brake piston ?
To hold the brake disc to the wheel
To ensure the brake disc runs true
To pull the brake pads away from the disc
To push the brake pads against the disc
In a hydraulic power steering system the maximum pressure is limited by the:
hydraulic pump
MAP sensor
control valve
relief valve
After fitting a wheel cylinder in the drum brake diagram , what must you do?
Drive the vehicle
Check the springs
Check the adjustment
Bleed the brakes
