Question 505

When the vehicle's wheels bounce over potholes, it may be because…

  1. The shock absorbers are in poor condition.
  2. The clutch is in poor condition.
  3. The brake is in poor condition.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The shock absorbers are in poor condition.

If shock absorbers lose effectiveness, they do not properly control oscillations when the vehicle goes over a pothole. This can cause the wheels to bounce excessively.
