How does the suspension system affect vehicle handling?
The suspension system has no impact on vehicle handling
The suspension system only affects the appearance of the vehicle
The suspension system affects vehicle handling by providing stability, control, and comfort. It helps to absorb shocks from the road and maintain tire contact for better traction and handling.
The suspension system makes the vehicle more prone to skidding
Explain the difference between independent and dependent suspension systems.
Independent suspension connects the wheels to a solid axle, causing them to move together
Independent suspension allows each wheel to move independently, while dependent suspension connects the wheels to a solid axle, causing them to move together.
Dependent suspension allows each wheel to move independently
Independent suspension and dependent suspension are the same thing
This tire wear pattern is most likely from?
Worn shock absorber
Under inflation
Poor alignment
Over inflation
This is also known as a MacPherson type component:
Strut
Shock
Leaf spring
coil spring
Tech A says the function of the shock is keep the vehicle's ride height level. Tech B says the shock prevents the vehicle from bouncing by limiting shock oscillations. Who is correct?
Tech A
Tech B
Both Tech
Neither Tech
Is this an example of a dependent suspension system?
Yes
No
Tech A says that loose ball joints can cause the vehicle to wander. Tech B says that loose control arm bushings can affect alignment angles. Who is correct?
Tech A
Tech B
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
________ dampen spring oscillations by forcing oil through small holes in a piston.

With out a shock absorber the suspension would feel more?
Tight

Fluids are incompressible
The property of a liquid to absorb water from the atmosphere is named:
Hydroscopic
Hydrodynamic
Hygroscopic
Hyperallergic

Front /rear split
Left/right split
Diagonal split
None of these
