Why should drivers avoid aggressive acceleration when wheels are turned at full steering lock?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Puts immense stress on constant velocity (CV) joints and risks loss of traction
- Step 1: Mechanical driveline stress. Step 2. Full steering lock angles CV joints to their maximum articulation; heavy torque causes joint failure and front-wheel wheelspin. Answer: Puts immense stress on constant velocity (CV) joints and risks loss of traction. Why not the others: Radiator fan is electric/belt driven; exhaust is at rear; airbags require crash deceleration sensors.
