Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are using appropriate methods for their tasks. Technician A is indexing the U-joint to the pinion flange to ensure it is reassembled in the same orientation, which is important for maintaining balance and minimizing vibrations. Technician B is marking suspension and steering parts before disassembly to aid in reassembly and help ensure that wheel alignment is close to its original state, which is a common practice to avoid alignment issues post-repair.
