Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Note: Do not install new Constant Velocity (CV) joints unless disassembly and inspection reveals wear/damage.

Note: Inspect for, and remove indentations (dimples) in the boot convolutions.

- Inspect the boots for cracks, tears, and splits.
- Inspect the vehicle underbody for grease splatter near the outboard and inboard boots. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
