WHAT SHOULD BE DONE I
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and
reminder systems are working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage. If
you see anything
that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Inspect the froht 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
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and
then inspect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals if necessary.
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. See “Engine Exhaust’’ in
the Index.
Inspect
the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
