Regular checks of the steering linkage and suspension components are crucial for vehicle performance and safety. Park on level ground, turn off the engine, set the parking brake, and check tire pressures. Assess struts by pushing down on each corner of the vehicle and observing if it returns to a level position within one or two bounces. Look for fluid leakage on shock struts and replace both if leakage is present. Inspect the secure mounting and integrity of struts and upper mounts. Visually inspect front suspension and steering components for damage, leaks, and worn seals, boots, and fittings. Check balljoint-to-steering knuckle joint for movement and replace balljoints if play is detected. Test for play in the steering system components by pushing and pulling on the front tires. Address loose steering gear mounts or worn tie-rod ends. Assess front wheel bearings for play or unusual noise when rotating the tires and replace if necessary. Keep CV Boot clean and inspect for damage. Check for grease around the boot area and push on the surface to reveal hidden cracks. Replace damaged CV Boot to prevent CV joint damage.
