- While discussing steering problems: Technician A says that a “jerky” steering wheel and a “clunking” noise could indicate worn steering column U-joints. Technician B says that lack of assist and a “growling” noise in a fluid-filled steering pump could indicate a hose or pump internal restriction. Who is correct?arrow_forward2. Technician A says that the purpose of the steering wheel holder is to make sure that the steeringwheel is centered after the alignment. Technician B says that if the steering wheel is not centered after an alignment, it should be pulled offthe column and positioned correctly. Who iscorrect?a. Technician A c. Both A and B b. Technician B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that on FWD vehicles, the front wheels toe-out while the rear wheels on an independent suspension try to toe-in as the vehicle moves ahead. Technician B says that on RWD vehicles, the front wheels tend to toe-in while the rear wheels toe-out in response to rolling resistance as suspension compliance. Who is correct?arrow_forward
