1.

Technician A says that if the tire pressure inflation specifications on the driver's door are missing or painted over, you should check the tire pressure specification on the tire sidewall and inflate the tire to this pressure. Technician B says that is a potentially dangerous mistake since the specification listed on the tire sidewall is the maximum tire pressure the tire should contain usually after it has been operation and has heated up. Who is correct?

a)

Technician B

b)

Technician A

c)

Both Technician A and Technician B

d)

Neither Technician A nor Technician B

2.

All of the following problems or conditions may be caused by improper wheel balance, EXCEPT:

a)

uncomfortable vibration

b)

uneven tire wear

c)

premature wear of suspension components

d)

premature wear of brake pads

3.

Technician A says when checking a tire's air pressure, always refer to the tire sidewall information, and inflate the tire to that pressure. Technician B says when checking air pressures, compare them to the specifications on the tire placard usually located on the driver's door, door pillar, or glove compartment lid. Who is correct?

a)

Technician A

b)

Technician B

c)

Both Technician A and Technician B

d)

Neither Technician A nor Technician B

A dragging front brake assembly can cause heavy pulling of a vehicle to either the left or the right.

a)

True

b)

False

13.

Technician A says that a tire will increase or decrease approximately 1 psi for each 10°F change of temperature. Technician B says that if the vehicle has been driven to warm the tires, you must adjust the air pressure down to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Who is correct?

Neither Technician A nor Technician B

c)

Technician B

d)

Both Techs A and Technician B

14.

Technician A says that dismounting and mounting a tire is the same process on all modern wheels. Technician B says that the tire pressure monitoring system has changed mounting and dismounting procedures on some vehicles equipped with TPMS. Who is correct?
