Front Drive Halfshafts
Inspection and Verification
NOTE:New front wheel drive halfshafts should not
be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
1. Inspect front wheel driveshaft joint boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
NOTE: While inspecting the front wheel driveshaft
CV joint boots, watch for indentations (dimples) in
the boot convolutions. If an indentation is observed,
it must be removed.
2. Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter in the vicinity of the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boots outboard and inboard
locations, which is an indication of front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot and/or front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot clamp damage. 3. Inspect for inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot
bearing housing seal leakage at the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint.
4. Make sure front axle wheel hub retainer is the correct prevailing torque type.
5. The silicone front wheel driveshaft CV joint boot will sweat during operation, causing a light film
of grease to show on the outside of the front
wheel driveshaft CV joint boot. This condition
is normal.
NOTE: Halfshafts are not balanced and do not
contribute to rotational vibration.
6. If the concerns remain after the inspection, determine the symptoms and go to the Symptom
Chart. For additional Noise, Vibration and
Harshness (NVH). REFER to Section 100-04
[Noise, Vibration and Harshness] .
