Technical Certificates Quiz

What is the primary function of the steering system?

• To increase vehicle speed

• To control the direction of the vehicle

• To enhance fuel efficiency

• To improve braking performance

How does the steering system reduce the effort needed by the driver?

• By using larger wheels

• Through steering gears and power-assisted systems

• By increasing engine power

• Through enhanced braking systems

What is a key advantage of the rack and pinion steering system?

• It requires relay rods for operation

• It is heavy and complex

• It requires no maintenance, just visual checks

• It generates high resistance

How does the rack and pinion steering system improve steering response?

• By using relay rods

• By directly meshing the rack pinion to the rack

• By increasing the weight of the system

• By generating high resistance

What effect does a higher gear ratio have on steering assistance?

• Increases assistance, requiring less steering wheel movement

• Decreases assistance, requiring more steering wheel movement

• No effect on steering assistance

• Makes steering harder with less wheel movement

How does a variable ratio steering rack assist in non-power assisted steering systems?

• By increasing the pitch between the teeth at each end of the rack

• By decreasing the pitch between the teeth at each end of the rack

• By maintaining a constant pitch between the teeth

• By eliminating the need for a steering rack

In the recirculating ball steering system, what replaces the threads in the ball nut and worm shaft?

• Spiral grooves

• Linear grooves

• Circular grooves

• Square grooves

What is the purpose of giving a preload to the sector shaft in the recirculating ball steering system?

• To provide correct steering resistance

• To increase vehicle speed

• To enhance braking efficiency

• To reduce fuel consumption

How many teeth does the roller follower usually have in the worm and roller steering system?

• One or two

• Two or three

• Three or four

• Four or five

Which steering system uses the least amount of linkages?

• Hydraulic steering system

• Electric steering system

• Rack and pinion steering system

• Manual steering system
