(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

combines a shock absorber with a structural component supporting the chassis
strut assembly
variation in camber angle as the suspension moves up or down
camber change during rebound/
compression
the stiffness of a spring; resistance to compression
spring rate
top of the tire tilts inward (negative) or outward (positive)
negative camber/ positive camber
the direction in which the rear axle pushes relative to the vehicle’s centerline
thrust line
a component that controls spring oscillations and motion damping
shock absorber (damper)
when a steering or suspension part does not move freely
binding
excessive free play in steering before wheel movement occurs
lost motion
handling conditions where the vehicle turns less (understeer) or more (oversteer) than intended
understeer/
oversteer
a front suspension design using unequal length control arms
short-arm/long-arm (SLA) suspension
uneven weight distribution in a wheel/tire assembly causing vibration
wheel imbalance
the top mounting point of a strut assembly, often containing a bearing for steering movement
strut mount/ bearing
limits suspension travel at the extreme ends of movement
jounce/ rebound bumper
adjusting camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle to meet vehicle specifications
wheel alignment
a rubber or elastomeric mount that cushions and locates the control arm
control arm bushing
includes balancing, mounting, inflation, rotation, and inspection
wheel and tire service
a springing member that resists twist and sets ride height and spring rate
torsion bar
internal parts of a steering gear that can cause play or looseness if worn
rack piston / sector shaft
the distance from the wheel’s mounting surface to its centerline; affects fitment
wheel offset
a suspension link that locates the wheel and allows vertical motion
control arm (upper/ lower)
the tilt of the wheel or tire inward or outward when viewed from the front of the vehicle
camber
the amount of road wheel turn compared to steering wheel input
steering ratio
the shaft and housing connecting the steering wheel to the steering gear
steering column
uses air springs instead of conventional coil or leaf springs
air suspension
converts steering wheel input into wheel motion
steering gear (rack and pinion / recirculating ball)
aligning the rear axle thrust line with the vehicle’s centerline
thrust angle adjustment
the vertical distance between the vehicle’s chassis and the ground (or frame and axle)
ride height
hydraulic or electric components that reduce steering effort
power steering pump / control valve
the angle the tires are pointed toward (toe-in) or away from (toe-out) each other when viewed from above
toe-in/toe-out
the direction the rear wheels push the vehicle relative to the centerline of the vehicle
thrust angle
steering linkage components that support or transfer steering motion
idler arm/ pitman arm
systems that adjust suspension height under varying loads
load leveling/ height sensing
connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering motion
tie rod end
drives the power steering pump in many vehicles
power-steering belt/
pulley
the feel of the vehicle through suspension movement and damping
ride quality/ ride comfort
the distance between the tire’s contact patch and the steering axis intersection point
caster trail/
steering trail
a pivot point allowing multi-directional movement, connecting control arms and steering knuckles
ball joint
the tilt of the steering axis when viewed from the side (forward or rearward tilt)
caster
connects both sides of the suspension to reduce body roll
anti-roll bar (sway bar)/ sway bar link
