Raise the vehicle and inspect the tires for irregular wear patterns and proper inflation.

Push down and release the vehicle at each corner and see if it returns to a level position within one or two bounces. Listen for squeaks and noises from the suspension components while bouncing the vehicle.

Remove the tripod joint snap-ring.

If the outer CV joint is worn, a new one and axle shaft should be purchased.

With the vehicle on the ground and the front wheels pointed straight ahead, gently rock the steering wheel back and forth to check for excessive free play, which may indicate worn front wheel bearings, main shaft yoke, intermediate shaft yoke, lower arm ball joint, or steering system joint. Other symptoms such as excessive vehicle body movement over rough roads, swaying around corners, and binding when the steering wheel is turned may indicate faulty steering or suspension components. Check the shock absorbers by pushing down and releasing the vehicle at each corner to see if it returns to a level position within one or two bounces. Listen for squeaks and noises from the suspension components. Raise the vehicle with a floor jack and securely support it on jack stands to inspect the tires for irregular wear patterns and proper inflation. Inspect the universal joint between the steering shaft and the steering gear housing, checking for lubricant leakage or oozing, damaged dust seals and boots, and loose boot clamps. Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage, the track rod ends for excessive play, and all suspension and steering components for loose bolts, broken or disconnected parts, and deteriorated rubber bushings. While an assistant turns the steering wheel from side to side, check the steering components for free movement, chafing, and binding. Check the ball joints for wear by attempting to move each lower arm up and down with a prybar to ensure there is no play. Replace any ball joints with play. Inspect the ball joint boots for damage and leaking grease, replacing them if necessary. Lastly, inspect the CV boots for tears, cracks, and loose clamps, replacing them if there is any evidence of damage or leaking lubricant.
