Checking the corrugated covers of cardan shafts
Raise the car.
Pay attention to whether there are traces of oil on the corrugated covers and on the parts next to them.
Check the tightness of the clamps.
Examine the covers with a lamp for porosity, cracks or abrasions.
In this case, turn the wheels in both directions until they stop. Replace damaged covers immediately.
If the boot is retracted or defective as a result of the vacuum in the hinge, it must be replaced immediately.
Checking dust covers on ball joints
Check dust covers with a lamp for damage. Pay attention to whether there are any traces of oil on the covers and on the parts next to them.
If dirt has already penetrated into the hinge through the damaged boot, it should be replaced immediately.
Check the shock absorber for traces of oil. A slight oil film on the piston rod is evidence of the normal operation of the shock absorber.
Checking ball joints for clearance
With the car raised on the trestles, press the ball joint in different directions with the help of a mount.
If a gap is found, replace the ball joint.
Lower the car.
