Question
Hello, I am trying to study for a test and found this practice review but I'd like to be able to check my work. Can someone help answer some of these questions? Thank you
38. Which statement best describes steering axis inclination
(SAI)?

excessive positive caster
b. SAI is adjustable

ahead position
d. SAI refers to steering axle inspection
39. After a two wheel alignment, the steering wheel on the vehicle
is not centered. Technician A recommends a four wheel alignment
to determine whether the rear wheels are parallel to one another
and perpendicular to a common centerline. Technician B says if
the steering wheel is not centered after an alignment, it should be
pulled off the column and correctly positioned. Who is correct?
b. B only
a. A only
c. both A and B
d. neither A nor B
40. What is meant by negative camber?
a. The wheel is perfectly
vertical
c. The top of the tire is
tilted in
b. The top of the tire is
tilted out
d. The wheel is turned
out
41. Which statement best describes camber?
a. Unequal camber angles cause the vehicle to steer
toward the side with more negative camber.
b. Unequal camb angles cause the vehicle to steer
toward the side with more positive camber.
c. Camber is the forward or rearward tilt of a wheel as
viewed from the front of the car.
d. Camber is not adjustable on most vehicles.
42. A vehicle that has excessive setback on the right front is being
diagnosed. Technician A says the problem could be caused by a
bent lower control arm. Technician B says the problem could be
caused by a misaligned front cradle. Who is correct?
a. A only
b. B only
c. both A and B
d. neither A nor B
