Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct that the resistance to movement may be greater on the rebound stroke as the shock absorber is designed to absorb the energy from the compression stroke and release it gradually on the rebound stroke. Technician B is also correct that if the resistance to movement is jerky and erratic, this indicates that the shock absorber is worn out and needs to be replaced. Therefore, both technicians are correct.
