Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because a tie-rod crosstube typically has left-hand threads on one side and right-hand threads on the other to allow for adjustment of the steering toe without removing the tie-rod ends. This design enables adjustments to be made by rotating the crosstube, which changes the length of the tie-rod assembly and thus the toe angle. Technician A's statement about needing to remove one of the tie-rod ends from an Ackerman arm is incorrect for this adjustment process.
