What suspension problem is suggested when the truck leans noticeably in turns and sways after lane changes more than it used to?
- A.The fuel tanks are too full
- B.Worn shock absorbers or a broken or disconnected stabilizer (sway) bar component
- C.The trailer is painted a dark color
- D.The steering wheel is off-center by a small amount
Correct answer
B. Worn shock absorbers or a broken or disconnected stabilizer (sway) bar component
Why
Body roll control comes from the shocks, springs, and stabilizer bar working together. New or growing sway means something in that system has weakened, and the same roll that feels like a comfort issue is what feeds a rollover in an emergency swerve.
