Tech A says torque steer is caused by low tire pressure. Tech B says steering return concerns may be caused by binding components. Who is correct?

Choose the correct statement:

Tech A says that some vehicles may require alignment shims to align the vehicle properly. Tech B says that shims can affect both the caster and camber at the same time. Who is right?

Which type of joint has an inner race, six steel ball bearings, a bearing cage, and an outer race?

Ride height may only be checked if the vehicle has:

All of the following statements are true, EXCEPT:

Tech A says you can adjust caster on some strut rods. Tech B says you can adjust caster on some four-wheel-drive vehicles with adjusting sleeve. Who is correct?

Technician A says torque-steer is caused by low tire pressure. Technician B says steering return concerns may be caused by binding components. Who is correct?

Tech A says that any complaint of vehicle handling requires an alignment. Tech B says that when a customer complains of a handling problem, a visual inspection should always be performed first. Who is right?

Technician A says caster can be adjusted on some vehicles by adjusting the strut rods. Technician B says you can adjust caster on some four-wheel-drive vehicles by repositioning tapered ball joint adjusting sleeves. Who is correct?

Two technicians are discussing the subject of front suspension turning radius or toe-out on turns (Ackerman angle). Tech A says most steering knuckle use adjustable wheel stops to set toe-out on turns. Tech B says if the front wheels turn at different angles with the inside wheel ahead of the outside wheel, tire scuffing will result. Who is right?
