Good Luck

b) Peg and Ball
c) Crown wheel and pinion
d) Rack and pinion

2. To satisfy the MOT regulations the minimum braking efficiency for the footbrake must not be:
a) less than 16%
b) less than 25%
c) less than 50%
d) less than 75%

3. In relation to checking and adjusting the front wheel alignment which of the following is NOT
true?
a) Adjustments must be made equally to both track rods
b) You should remove any very heavy loads from the boot
c) You should check the tyre pressures are correct
d) Buckled wheels will not affect the wheel alignment

4. A seized front brake caliper piston on the offside may cause the:
a) vehicle to pull to the right when accelerating
b) vehicle to pull to the right when braking
c) vehicle to pull to the left when accelerating
d) vehicle to pull to the left when braking

5. In relation to vehicle behaviour during cornering 'oversteer' is when the:


a) slip angles of the rear tyres are smaller than the slip angles of the front tyres
b) slip angles of the rear tyres are larger than the slip angles of the front tyres
c) slip angles of the front tyres are the same as the slip angles of the rear tyres
d) rear wheels of a vehicle are carrying much less load than the front wheels

6. A driver complains of steering wheel 'shimmy' that gets worse as the vehicle's speed increases.
This most likely indicates the:
a) tyre pressures are too high
b) front wheels need balancing
c) wheel alignment needs adjusting
