Inspections
Listed in this part are inspections and services
which should be performed at least twice a year,
for instance, each spring and fall.You should
let your dealer/retailer do these jobs. Make sure
any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Proper procedures to perform these services can
be found in a service manual. SeeService
Publications Ordering Information on page 420.
Steering, Suspension and Front
Drive Axle Boot and Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and
steering system for damaged, loose or missing
parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect
the power steering lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Clean and then inspect the drive axle boot seals
for damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals
if necessary.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the
body near the exhaust system. Look for broken,
damaged, missing, or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause a heat build-up
in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes into
the vehicle. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 122.
