Which of the following describes the double-Cardan universal joint? a. It is most often installed in front-engine rearwheel-drive luxury automobiles. b. It is classified as a constant velocity U-joint. c. A centering ball socket is inside the coupling yoke between the two universal joints. d. All of the above.

d. Road test

Which of these is the best way to determine which CV joint is faulty? a. Squeeze test b. Runout test c. Visual inspection d. Road test

b. Technician B

While diagnosing the cause of a clicking noise that is heard only when the car is turning: Technician A says that the most probable cause is a worn wheel bearing. Technician B says that the most probable cause is a worn outboard CV joint. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

While discussing different types of ring and pinion gearsets: Technician A says that with a nonhunting gearset, each tooth of the pinion will return to the same tooth space on the ring gear each time the pinion rotates. Technician B says that when a hunting gearset rotates, any pinion gear tooth is likely to contact each and every tooth on the ring gear. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

d. Neither A nor B

While discussing the possible causes for a clunking noise during acceleration: Technician A says that an outer CV joint could be the cause. Technician B says that runout in the drive axle may be the cause of the problem. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

While reviewing the procedure for setting backlash: Technician A says that backlash is adjusted along with side-bearing preload by loosening or tightening side-bearing adjusting nuts. Technician B says that normally, to decrease the amount of backlash, a thin shim is installed on one side of the gear and a thick one on the other side. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

a. True

If the fluid reservoir for a hydraulic clutch is low, the entire system should be checked for fluid leaks. a. True b. False

d. Both A and B

In front-wheel drivetrains, the CV joint nearer the transaxle is the ___. a. inner joint b. inboard joint c. outboard joint d. Both A and B

b. Technician B

Technician A says that a hunting gearset is one in which one drive pinion gear tooth contacts only certain ring gear teeth. Technician B says that a partial nonhunting gearset is one in which one pinion tooth contacts only six ring gear teeth. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

Technician A says that limited-slip differential clutch packs are designed to slip when the vehicle turns a corner. Technician B says that a special additive is placed in the hypoid gear lubricant to promote clutch pack slippage on corners. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

Technician A says that side-bearing preload limits the amount the differential case is able to move laterally in the axle housing. Technician B says that adjusting backlash sets the depth of the mesh between the ring and pinion gears' teeth. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

c. Both A and B

Technician A says that when a car is moving straight ahead, all differential gears rotate as a unit. Technician B says that when a car is turning a corner, the inside differential side gear rotates slowly on the pinion, causing the outside side gear to rotate faster. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B

a. higher operating angles and greater plunge depth

The double-offset CV joint is typically used in applications that require ___. a. higher operating angles and greater plunge depth b. lower operating angles and lower plunge depth c. higher operating angles and lower plunge depth d. lower operating angles and greater plunge depth
