Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment MUST
include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals MUST
provide evidence that links them to the light vehicle suspension systems that they have worked on, e.g., Repair orders.
Assessors MUST
verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources MUST
be made available:
Automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
Workplace instructions
Manufacturer suspension system specifications
Light vehicles with faults in the suspension systems specified in the performance evidence
Diagnostic equipment for light vehicle suspension systems
Tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing light vehicle suspension systems
Assessors of this unit MUST
satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
Resources required
Learning Resources available to students include:
Automotive Technology (A System Approach) 7
th
Edition – Chapters 2, 5, 6, 7, 45 & 46
Websites –
Trainer Handouts
Results/Re-
assessment
The Assessor will grade the assessment and record the result on the front page of
this document (S) – Satisfactory if all observable behaviours are correct and (NS) not satisfactory if any areas are left incorrect
Feedback will be provided on either result
Where a student receives a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ result, the assessor will discuss the area of the non-compliant observable behaviour and an opportunity given for re-assessment. This may be through direct observation or a different method of assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving exercise.
If the outcome is again not satisfactory the student result will be deemed (NYC) not yet competent. Additional feedback will be given, and a time agreed upon for further assessment after additional training and skills practice has taken place, this information will be recorded, dated and signed in the re-assessment area on the last page of this document
Where all the assessment tasks have been graded (S) Satisfactory, the student will be deemed C – Competent for the practical component and the result recorded and signed in the area indicated on the last page of this document

Fill in the Missing Words
36.
Place the missing words to complete the following statement about torsion bar suspension using the following words.
Missing Words: absorb, attached, compressing, heat-treated, lowered, resists, springs, twists, wheel
Torsion bars serve the same function as coil Springs
. In fact, they are often described as straightened-out coil springs. Instead of Compressiong
like coil springs, a torsion bar Twists
and straightens out on the recoil. That is, as the bar twists, it Resists
up-and-down movement. One end of the bar – made of Heat-treated
alloy spring steel – is attached to the vehicle frame. The other end is Attached
to the lower control arm.
When the Wheel
moves up and down, the lower control arm is raised and Lowered
. This twists the torsion bar, which causes it to Absorb
road shocks.

False
39.
Explain the purpose hydropneumatic suspension system?
The purpose of a hydropneumatic suspension system is to provide a smooth and adjustable ride quality by utilizing a combination of hydraulic fluid and compressed air.
40.
What is the purpose of the “GAS” in an hydropneumatic suspension system?
The purpose of the "GAS" in a hydropneumatic suspension system is to provide additional springing action and damping control, enhancing ride comfort and handling.

Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer.
41.
The most advanced computer-controlled suspension systems are true active suspensions. They use high-
pressure _____ actuators to carry the vehicle’s weight rather than conventional springs or air springs.
A.
Hydraulic.
B.
Pneumatic.
C.
Electromagnetic.
D.
Vacuum.
Fill in the Missing Words
42.
Place the missing words to complete the following statement about adaptive (pneumatic) suspension using the following words.
Missing Words: computer, damping, mode, road, sensors, shock, spring, systems, vehicle
Adaptive suspensions use electronic Shock
absorbers with variable valving. In some cases, variable air Spring
rates are used to adapt the vehicle’s ride characteristics to the prevailing Road
conditions or driver demands. Electronic Sensors
monitor factors such as vehicle height, Road
speed, steering angle, braking force, door position, shock _______________ status, engine vacuum, throttle position, and ignition switching. A Computer
is used to analyse this input and switch the suspension into a pre-set operating Mode
that matches existing conditions. Some Systems
are fully automatic. Others allow the driver to select the ride mode.
43.
What does the compressor do in the adaptive (pneumatic) suspension system?
The compressor in an adaptive (pneumatic) suspension system pressurizes air to adjust the ride height and stiffness of the suspension.
True or False question
44.
The airflow to the springs is controlled by the interaction of the air compressor, system sensors, computer control module, and solenoid valves. All of the air-operated parts of the system are connected by nylon tubing.
☐
True
or
☐
False
45.
What is the purpose of the ball joint?
The purpose of the ball joint is to provide a flexible connection between suspension components, facilitating smooth movement and articulation while ensuring stability and control in steering and handling.

Fill in the Missing Words
64.
Place the missing words to complete the following statement about wheel bearings using the following words.
Missing Words: axle, bad, commonly, front, housing, hub, maintenance, shaft, Tapered, wheel
The purpose of all bearings
is to allow a shaft to rotate smoothly in a Housing
or to allow the housing to rotate smoothly around a shaft. Wheel and Axle
bearings do this for a vehicle’s wheels. Typically, on driving axles, the Hub
is mounted to the hub of an axle shaft and the Axle
rotates within a housing on an axle bearing. Wheel bearings are used on non-driving axles. The wheel’s Hub
rotates on a shaft called the spindle. Axle bearings are typically serviced with the drive axle. Tapered
roller wheel bearings, however, require periodic Maintenance
and are often serviced with suspension and brake work. Although there is a distinction between axle and wheel bearings, the bearings for the Front
wheels on a FWD and 4WD vehicle are Commonly
called wheel bearings. Regardless of what they are called, Bad
bearings can cause noise, vibration, handling, and tire wear problems.

Place the missing words to complete the following statement about replacing a coil spring using the following words.
Missing Words: arm, ball, bungee, compressors, control, forcing, joints, lowered, plates, positioned, remove, spring, stabiliser, support, washer
To remove a coil spring, raise and Support the vehicle by its frame. Let the control Arm
hang free. Remove wheels, shock absorbers, and Stabilizer
links. Disconnect the outer tie-rod ends from their respective arms. Secure
the brake caliper and support it with a wire or Bungee
cord so it does not hang on the brake hose. Unload the ball Joint
with a roll-around floor jack. Jack under the lower Control
arm from the opposite side of the vehicle. This allows the jack to roll back when the control arm is Lowered
. Position the jack as close to the lower Ball
joint as possible for maximum leverage against the spring. The Arm
is ready for the installation of the spring compressor. There are many different types of spring Compressors
. One type uses a threaded compression rod that fits through two Plates
, an upper and lower ball nut, a thrust washer, and a forcing nut. The two plates are Positioned
at either end of the spring. The compression rod fits through the plates with a ball nut at either end. The upper ball nut is pinned to the rod. The thrust Washer
and forcing nut are threaded onto the end of the rod. Turning the Forcing
nut draws the two plates together and compresses the spring.
