The wheel __________ is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly.
hub |
|
base |
|
knuckle |
|
shaft |
The wheel hub is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly. The wheel hub can rotate while being held stable by the steering knuckle which applies the motion of the control arms to the wheels.
Control arms connect a vehicle's suspension to the frame. The connection to the frame uses:
knuckles |
|
bushings |
|
ball joints |
|
pins |
Control arms (upper and lower) connect a vehicle's suspension to the frame. The connection to the wheels is through ball joints which allow the control arms to turn and move up and down simultaneously. The frame connection uses bushings.
Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?
crankshaft |
|
camshaft |
|
halfshaft |
|
driveshaft |
The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.
The fuel pressure regulator ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. The fuel pressure regulator is part of the:
fuel rail |
|
electric fuel pump |
|
fuel filter |
|
fuel manifold |
The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.
What is the pimary advantage of using power brakes on a vehicle?
requires less brake fluid to operate the braking system |
|
allows the use of antilock brakes |
|
utilizes battery power to assist in braking |
|
provides higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system |
Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.
