Regular checks of steering linkage and suspension components are crucial for vehicle performance. Worn parts can cause tire wear, poor ride quality, reduced fuel economy, and compromised handling. To check shock absorbers, push down at each corner of the vehicle and observe the body movement. If it continues to bounce or doesn't return to its original position, the shocks may be worn. Inspect them for fluid leakage and damage. For steering and suspension components, visually inspect for damage or leaks, especially seals, boots, bushings, and control arm bushings. Check for play in the steering system components. For 4WD models, inspect the CV boots for tears or cracks. Wash the boots with soap and water to prevent premature deterioration.

When working on the inner CV joint, you should mount the driveaxle in a bench vise with wood blocks for protection. Carefully remove the boot retaining clamps, sliding the inner boot back onto the shaft. Remove the inner CV joint housing from the shaft and tripod, followed by the snap-ring from the end of the shaft.

When working on the outer CV joint, mount the axleshaft in a vise with wood blocks, remove the boot clamps, and push the boot back. Wipe off excess grease from the joint and expand the snap-ring with snap-ring pliers to release the outer joint from the shaft.

Periodic checks of steering and suspension components are essential to ensure proper vehicle performance. Worn or damaged components can lead to problems such as excessive tire wear, poor ride quality, reduced fuel economy, and compromised vehicle handling.
