Camber describes the wheel tilt when viewed from:
Above
Front
Rear
Inside
Positive camber means the top of the wheel:
Tilts inward
Tilts outward
Is vertical
Tilts backward
Negative camber gives:
Poor road holding
Better road holding
Less steering effort
Less tyre wear
Excessive camber causes:
Central tyre wear
Edge tyre wear
No tyre wear
Only vibration
Caster is viewed from the:
Front
Side
Rear
Underneath
Positive caster improves:
Tyre wear
Straight-line stability
Turning circle
Fuel economy
Negative caster is:
Common
Recommended
Never used due to instability
Required on rear wheels
Steering axis inclination helps:
Reduce brake fade
Self-centering of steering
Cool the tyres
Increase engine power
SAI combined with camber creates:
Toe
Caster
Scrub radius
Slip angle
A positive scrub radius means the tyre centre is:
Inboard of axis
Outboard of axis
Behind the axis
Above the axis
A negative scrub radius improves:
Stationary steering
Stability during braking
Vibration
Fuel economy
Ackermann geometry ensures:
Equal steering angles
Inner wheel turns more sharply
Rear wheels steer
Toe is always zero
Slip angle is the difference between:
Engine direction and tyre wear
Wheel direction and actual travel direction
Toe-in and toe-out
Caster and camber
Slip angle creates:
Brake force
Heat
Lateral (cornering) force
Tyre inflation
A front-wheel-drive car usually has:
Toe-in
Toe-out
Zero toe
Excessive negative toe
A rear-wheel-drive car usually has:
Toe-in
Toe-out
Zero toe
Positive camber
A thrust angle shows:
Caster position
Engine mount angle
Direction the rear wheels point
Track width
A misaligned thrust line causes:
Better cornering
Tyre wear and poor handling
Stronger steering
Better MPG
Rack-and-pinion steering is:
Heavy and complex
Lightweight and simple
Only used on trucks
Electric only
A steering box works using:
Chains
Belts
Worm gear system
Brake lines
Road crown tends to pull vehicles:
Left
Toward the road edge
Toward centre
Straight ahead
Which setting helps counter road crown pull?
Negative camber
Positive caster
Toe-out
SAI increase
Toe-out on turns is required because:
Tyres slip
Inside wheel must turn more than outside
To increase tyre wear
Reduce caster
SAI tilts the steering axis:
Outward
Inward
Forward
Rearward
Increasing SAI improves:
Tyre wear
Directional stability
Engine performance
Cooling
Neutral camber means the wheel is:
Bent
Tilted inward
Tilted outward
Vertical
Heavy steering can be caused by:
Engine oil
Tyre pressure, load, suspension play
Brake pads
Spark plugs
Torque steer is reduced with:
Positive camber
Negative camber
Zero toe
High SAI
Steering pull towards one side can indicate:
Low coolant
Unequal camber/caster
Wrong spark plug
High vacuum
Tyre wear on both inner edges may indicate:
Positive camber
Excessive negative camber
Zero caster
Low scrub radius
Toe-out causes tyres to wear:
In the centre
On the inner edges
On outer edges
Evenly
Steering wheel not centred usually means:
Bent radiator
Incorrect toe alignment
Loose exhaust
Faulty battery
The steering axis intersects the ground ahead of the tyre contact patch when:
Negative caster
Positive caster
Neutral caster
Zero caster
