Check of a condition of a protective cover of a power shaft
Order of execution
1. Raise and carefully secure the vehicle on stands.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the right or left as far as it will go and turn the wheel.
3. Inspect the CV joint rubber boots by squeezing them to open the folds. Check them for cracks, which can lead to grease leakage, as well as water and dirt ingress.
Also check the condition of the mounting clamps, inspect the covers of the internal hinges and casings on the other side. If any damage is found, the protective cover must be replaced immediately, see fig. Check of a condition of a protective cover of a power shaft.
At the same time, check the general condition of the CV joints by holding the shaft while trying to turn the wheel. Try again, holding the inner CV joint and rotating the shaft. Any noticeable play indicates wear on the pivot, wear in the shaft slots, or a loose shaft lock nut.
