Question

all of the following statements are true except:
a. the steering box converts the rotary motion of the steering wheel to angular motion.
b. steering linkage connects the steering box to the steering arm.
c. the steering system provides control over the vehicle’s direction of travel.
d. the steering knuckle pivots on bushings.

Explanation:

• Option a: The steering box converts the steering wheel's rotary motion to angular (linear/reciprocating) motion for the linkage, which is true.
• Option b: Steering linkage connects the steering box output to the steering arm to transfer motion, which is true.
• Option c: The core function of the steering system is to control the vehicle's direction of travel, which is true.
• Option d: Steering knuckles pivot on ball joints or kingpins, not bushings, so this statement is false.

Answer:

d. The steering knuckle pivots on bushings.
