C) Hood stop
D) Ball socket

Accepted Answer

The hood stop adjustment is specifically designed to control the height of the front of the hood, ensuring it aligns properly with the body of the vehicle.

Question 17

____ are used to cushion some of the impact of a collision and reduce damage.
A) Hood hinge springs
B) Bumper energy absorbers
C) Air ratchets
D) Cowl panels

Accepted Answer

Bumper energy absorbers are specifically designed to absorb and dissipate energy during a collision, thereby reducing the impact force and the potential damage to the vehicle's structure and occupants.

Question 18

A bumper energy absorber can usually be repaired.

Accepted Answer

A bumper energy absorber is designed to absorb impact energy during a collision and is typically made from foam or plastic that is crushed upon impact, making it difficult or impossible to repair to its original condition.

Question 19

Fenders are bolted to all of the following EXCEPT:
A) the energy absorber
B) the cowl behind the door and under the car
