CHAPTER 34 DRIVESHAFTS ETC...

What is the purpose if the ring and pinion in a conventional passenger vehicle

Changes degree

Vehicles with independent rear suspension have

Driveshaft with flexible joints on each point

Vehicles with rear- or mid-mounted engines always use a transaxle in the rear of the vehicle and transfer the drive to the road wheels by external drive half-shafts. Select one: True False

False

What is the purpose of the slip yoke on the drive shaft?

It allows the up and down movement of the suspension

Which of the following is not a typical type axle used in modern vehicles today ?

Reverse axle

the gears that directly drive the axle ?

Side gears

In vehicles with an independent rear suspension, the final drive unit is mounted on the chassis frame, and drive is transferred to each road wheel through external driveshafts (half-shafts), which have flexible joints on each end. Select one: True False

True

What is the purpose of the slip yoke on the drive shaft? Select one: a. It allows for up-and-down movement of the suspension. b. It enables the driveshaft to accommodate worn U-joints. c. It allows for a change of drive shaft angle during turns. d. It enables the differential to work at different angles

a. It allows for up-and-down movement of the suspension.

In a conventional rear-wheel drive vehicle, the engine and transmission are mounted: Select one: a. longitudinally at the front. b. transversely at the front. c. longitudinally at the rear. d. transversely at the rear.

a. longitudinally at the front.

This job is performed by the driveshafts, transfer cases, final drives, differentials, and drive axles. Select one: a. The layout of the drive train b. The torque being delivered to the appropriate wheels c. The repair of the drivetrain d. None of the above

b. The torque being delivered to the appropriate wheels

In the front-wheel drive layout, power is transmitted in a straight line from the engine through the ________ and out to the front axles (half-shafts). Select one: a. Transmission b. Final drive (differential) gearing c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

Transverse front-wheel drive layout designs eliminate the need to transfer power _____ degrees, as with a rear-wheel drive arrangement. Select one: a. 30 b. 110 c. 45 d. 90

d. 90

With a(n) _____, drive from the engine is transmitted to a rear axle assembly by a drive (propeller) shaft. Select one: a. Solid rear drive layout b. All-wheel drive lout c. Front-wheel drive layout d. Rear-wheel drive layout

d. Rear-wheel drive layout

If the driveshaft parts are not marked during disassmebly, than an out of phase condition can result in
