Question

Technician A says that front bearing assembly locknuts for RWD vehicles are typically heavily torqued to maintain the bearing adjustment. Technician B says that the axle nuts for a FWD wheel bearing assembly are often staked in place to maintain its specified torque. Who is correct?

A. Technician A
B. Technician B
C. Both Technician A and Technician B
D. Neither A nor B

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Technician B

Explanation:

The statement made by Technician A is not right because for an RWD vehicles, its front bearing assembly is not used for sustaining the bearing adjustment. The statement made by the Technician B is right because the main reason for staking the bearing assembly of the wheel of a FWD vehicle is to ensure that the torque is at a specific value. Thus, only Technician B is correct.
