Technician A says that worn dampers will generally bounce more than two to three times when performing a bounce test.Technician B says camber is the angle most responsible for straight tracking of the car.Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Dampers

Components of a vehicle's suspension system designed to absorb and dampen shock impulses to provide a smoother ride.

Bounce Test

A quick diagnostic procedure used to check the suspension and shocks of a vehicle, where pressure is applied to the body and released to observe how the vehicle rebounds.

Camber

The angle of the wheels relative to the vertical direction of the car, affecting tire contact with the road and wear patterns.

  • Distinguish typical components of the suspension system and their corresponding sounds.
  • Comprehend the significance of tire wear patterns, and their impact on the alignment and suspension integrity of a vehicle.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Technician A is correct because worn dampers (shock absorbers or struts) losing their ability to control suspension movement will indeed result in the vehicle bouncing more than two to three times when performing a bounce test. Technician B is incorrect because it is the toe angle, not camber, that is most responsible for the straight tracking of a car. Camber affects tire wear and cornering performance.
