Steering Quiz

What is the type of steering most commonly found on a modern vehicle?

• Recirculating Ball Steering

• Rack and Pinion Steering

• Cyclical Gear Steering

• Tiller Steering

What is the steering wheel attached to?

• Steering Column

• Front and Rear Dampers

• Air Conditioning

• Steering Knuckle

What best describes the rack and pinion gears?

• The rack revolves in a circle around the pinion.

• A rack and pinion are a toothed bar (the rack) that meshes with a small gear (the pinion).

• The rack and pinion are levers that mesh together to steer.

• The rack and pinion are two conical gears that are at a 90 degree angle.

What part is adjusted when fixing a vehicles toe alignment settings?

• Track Rod Ends

• Steering Knuckle

• Front Suspension

• Rubber Steering Gaiter

Which of the following is NOT a real type of power steering?

• Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS)

• Electric Power Steering (HPS)

• Hydroelectric Power Steering (HEPS)

• Gliding Power Steering (GPS)

What is the primary purpose of power steering in a vehicle?

• Enhancing fuel efficiency

• Improving engine performance

• Facilitating easier steering effort

• Increasing tire lifespan

What is the purpose of the power steering pump in a hydraulic power steering system?

• To regulate tire pressure

• To provide electrical power

• To pressurize hydraulic fluid

• To cool the engine

What does "toe alignment" refer to in the context of vehicle maintenance?

• The angle of the steering wheel

• The alignment of the front and rear wheels

• The adjustment of the toe rings on the tires

• The angle formed by the longitudinal axis of a wheel and a straight line parallel to the vehicle's centerline

Why is proper toe alignment important for vehicle handling?

• It increases engine power

• It minimizes oil consumption

• It reduces tire wear and enhances stability

• It reduces fuel efficiency

What is the function of track rod ends in a vehicle's steering system?

• They control the vehicle's suspension

• They connect the steering wheel to the engine

• They link the steering rack to the wheel hub

• They regulate the air pressure in the tires
