Regular checks of the steering linkage and suspension are vital for vehicle performance and safety. Worn or damaged components can cause tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel economy. To assess shock absorbers, park on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake. Check tire pressures and push down on each corner, observing movement and rebound. Proper shock absorbers should bring the vehicle to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. Inspect for fluid leakage and secure mounting. Visually examine steering and suspension components for damage, leaks, and loose bushings. Check the steering system for movement at the knuckle-to-control arm balljoint. Test for play in the steering system components. Regularly inspect CV boots for tears, cracks, and loose clamps. Clean CV Boot to prevent deterioration and replace if damaged.

To replace the outer boot, remove the driveaxle from the vehicle, secure it in a vise, and cut the boot clamps from both inner and outer boots. Remove the inner CV joint and boot as previously described.

After cleaning the inner bearing, remove the snap-ring from the axleshaft, slide off the inner bearing assembly, and mark the inner race and cage for proper reassembly. Carefully pry the balls from the cage and rotate the inner race to release it from the cage.

Remove the inner CV joint and boot as previously described.
