Question

which of the following statements are true for truck suspension systems?

1. off-highway trucks are equipped with front and rear suspension cylinders
2. articulated trucks are equipped with only rear suspension cylinders
3. all trucks are equipped with a separate suspension accumulator
4. articulated trucks are equipped with only front suspension cylinders

Explanation:

To determine the true statements about truck suspension systems, we analyze each option:

1. Off - highway trucks often need robust suspension for rough terrain, so having front and rear suspension cylinders is typical.
2. Articulated trucks (with a joint between sections) usually have only rear suspension cylinders as the front (articulated part) has different movement and suspension needs.
3. Not all trucks have a separate suspension accumulator; it depends on the design and requirements, so this is false.
4. Articulated trucks don't have only front suspension cylinders; the rear - only setup is more common, so this is false.

Answer:

1. Off - highway trucks are equipped with front and rear suspension cylinders, 2) Articulated trucks are equipped with only rear suspension cylinders
