Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Turn the front wheels to the maximum angle and, rotating the front wheel, inspect the condition of the outer and inner protective rubber covers, squeezing the protective covers to open the folds.
If the cover is damaged, it must be replaced immediately (see Fig. 1.18).
Check the general condition of the outer CV joints by holding the drive shaft and attempting to rotate the wheel. Any noticeable movement in the CV joint indicates wear in the joint, wear in the drive shaft splines, or a loose drive shaft lock nut. Repeat this check on the inner CV joint by holding the inner CV joint and attempting to rotate the drive shaft.
