Which measurement checks for a bent steering component after an impact?

  • A.Comparison of the two sides against each other and against data
  • B.A visual inspection, which is sufficient because any bend severe enough to matter will be immediately apparent
  • C.A road test
  • D.Measurement of the free play at the steering wheel, which increases if any component has been bent by the impact

Answer: A

Alignment equipment measures both sides and compares them with the manufacturer's data, and a significant asymmetry identifies the damaged side. A visual inspection misses small bends that matter greatly. Setback and thrust angle measurements extend the check to the whole vehicle. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist.
