INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Rear Axle Service
Brake System Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index. A
fluid
loss in this system may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair it if needed. If your
vehicle
is used to pull a trailer, change the gear lubricant every 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum
brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders,
calipers, parking brake, etc. The parking brake is self-adjusting and no manual adjustment is
required. You may need to have your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions
result in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced.
Also, if the brake system warning light stays on
or comes on, something may be wrong with the
brake system. See “Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index. If your anti-lock brake system
warning light stays on, comes on or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake
system. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index.
