Question 4381
Shock absorbers in poor condition cause the vehicle, in curves, to...
- tend to keep going straight.
- lose stability.
- always veer to the left in the direction of travel.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: lose stability.
A worn shock absorber lets the body rock and the wheels bounce. On a curve, the wheels lose grip and the car loses stability, to the point that it may skid. There is no fixed side it tends to veer toward.
