Inspections

Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of

lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks,
cracks, chang, 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

exhaust fumes into the vehicle. SeeEngine Exhaust
