two technicians are discussing suspension types.
technician a says that wishbone-style suspension can support longitudinal and lateral forces.
technician b says that coil springs can also support longitudinal and lateral forces.
who is correct?
neither technician a or b.
technician a only.
technician b only.
both technicians a and b.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Technician A's statement: Wishbone - style (control arm) suspension uses arms to locate the wheel and can handle longitudinal (along the vehicle's length) and lateral (side - to - side) forces due to its design, so Technician A is correct.
2. Analyze Technician B's statement: Coil springs are mainly used for vertical load support (suspension travel, weight support). They are not designed to support longitudinal or lateral forces; those forces are handled by other components like control arms, links, etc. So Technician B is incorrect.

Answer:

Technician A only.
