Technician A is correct because Short Long Arm (SLA) suspensions are designed to minimize tire scrub during suspension movement, improving handling and tire life. Technician B is incorrect because solid rear axles are not used with independent rear suspensions; by definition, an independent rear suspension allows each wheel to move independently, whereas a solid rear axle links the wheels together.
