Question

the pinion companion flange is typically checked for:

a. galling.

b. runout.

c. proper lubrication.

d. noises during acceleration.

Explanation:

The pinion companion flange is commonly checked for run - out as it can affect the proper functioning and alignment of the drivetrain components. Galling is more about surface damage due to friction, proper lubrication is related to other components in the system for smooth operation and noises during acceleration can be caused by multiple factors not directly related to the flange check as much as run - out.

Answer:

B. Runout
