Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • For Technician A: The acceptable free - play for a steering shaft coupler or u - joint is typically less than 20 degrees. So, Technician A's statement is correct.
  • For Technician B: When the steering column has collapsed (e.g., due to an accident), when an assistant pulls and pushes the column while looking under the dash, the misalignment or damage (evidence of collapse) will be visible. So, Technician B's statement is also correct.

Answer:

c. Both Technician A and Technician B
