Suspension & Steering (A4)Question 36 of 120
Technician A says worn shocks or struts can cause the body to keep bouncing after a bump. Technician B says worn dampers have no effect on tire wear. Who is correct?
a.Technician A only
b.Both A and B
c.Technician B only
d.Neither A nor B
Explanation
Worn shocks lose their ability to dampen spring oscillation, so the body keeps bouncing after a bump, and weak dampers also cause tire cupping. Technician B is wrong because damper wear does affect tire wear. A bounce test and leak inspection confirm the condition.
