Suspension System Test

Before removing suspension components, what should you do beforehand?

• Relieve the spring tension before fully unbolting from the chassis

• Compress the spring

• Remove the strut top mount

• Replace the shocker

Rear struts should be inspected for:

• excessive bounce/rebound

• damaged strut bearing

• trouble codes

• Both A and B

Identify The Part

• Electric Power Steering

• Manual Power Steering

• Hydraulic Power Steering

• Hybrid Power Steering

The main purpose of a suspension coil spring is to

• Keep the road wheels in contact with the ground as much as possible

• Reduce body roll when cornering

• Allow each wheel to move independently of the others

• Maintain the correct height of ride

An advantage of independent rear suspension is

• lower unsprung weight

• higher unsprung weight

• both wheels move up/down with the body

• cheaper

What is the term given when suspension is compressed?

• Bounce

• Rebound

• Dive

• Pitch

Ride height is set by:

• the spring

• the damper

• the unsprung weight

• the spring weight

Hydraulic dampers operate by:

• Forcing oil through valves to restrict flow

• Compressing another spring of a different rate

• Compressing a rubber cone

• Forcing air through valves to slow its movement

A worn strut assembly may result in:

• All the above

• unevenly worn tires

• a poor ride

• noise while turning

Inspection of the front strut mount and bearing might require:

• a test-drive.

• an alignment

• checking for leaks

• checking the oil level
