D)Neither A nor B

Question 5

Replacement joints usually have a zerk fitting for lubrication after installation and during service.

Question 6

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

A)drive axles usually support the weight of the vehicle.
B)it is important that tires be the same size on all limited slip differentials.
C)a bearing retainer is installed on the axle before the bearing is pressed on to provide a means of bolting the assembly to the brake backing plate.
D)semi-floating bearings are found on trucks.

Question 7

While having a discussion, Technician A says that the purpose of a differential is to transfer power from the driveline to the wheels. Technician B says that it increases engine torque by providing a final drive gear reduction, usually of about 2.5 to 3.5 to 1. Who is correct?

A)A only
B)B only
C)Both A and B
D)Neither A nor B

Question 8

In a planetary gearset, the pinion gear is lower than the centerline of the ring gear.

Question 9

With a(n) ____________________ gearset, one pinion gear tooth will move around the ring gear until it has contacted each one of its teeth.

Question 10

The most popular universal joint design is called a ____.

A)ball and trunnion
B)pumpkin
C)cross and yoke
D)swing axle

Question 11

In ____, power flows through the locked planetary gearset to the mainshaft and to the rear differential.

A)two-wheel-drive high range (2H)
B)two-wheel-drive low range (2L)
C)four-wheel-drive high range (4H)
D)four-wheel-drive low range (4L)

Question 12

The pinion gear drives the ring gear.

Question 13

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

A)a standard differential allows one wheel to rotate if it begins to slip.
B)a limited slip differential locks the spider gears when one wheel starts to lose traction.
C)if there are 10 teeth on the pinion gear and 33 teeth on the ring gear, the ratio is 5.30:1.
D)when torque is applied to the clutch pack, the side gear locks to the case, causing the wheel on that side to be driven.

Question 14

On rear-wheel-drive vehicles, ____________________ is a term that describes the parts that transfer power from the transmission to the rear wheels.

Question 15

Which of the following parts is LEAST-Likely included in the driveline?

A)Driveshaft
B)Axles and axle bearings
C)Locking hub
D)Differential

Question 16

The vibration caused by the speeding up and slowing down of the driveshaft can be canceled by putting two Cardan U-joints next to each other.

Question 17

The side gears and differential pinions are called ____________________.

Question 18

With a hunting gearset, one tooth on the pinion gear meshes with the same tooth on the ring gear again and again, rather than "hunting" for all of the rest of the gear teeth.

Question 19

With a(n) ____________________, one pinion tooth will contact two or three different ring gear teeth during one revolution and two or three different teeth the next revolution. At the third revolution it will be back to the same teeth on the ring gear.

Question 20

Front-wheel-drive vehicles have a transaxle with two ____________________ that deliver power to the front wheels.

Question 21

What is the function of the crush sleeve?

Question 22

What is the purpose of locking hubs?

Question 23

What are EP additives?

Question 24

What is the purpose of gear oils?

Question 25

When a slip yoke is used with an automatic transmission, there is sometimes a seal that goes over the output shaft. What is its purpose?
