With the vehicle on the ground and the front wheels pointed straight ahead, rock the steering wheel gently back and forth to check for excessive free-play. Excessive free-play could indicate worn front wheel bearings, mainshaft yoke, intermediate shaft yoke, lower arm ball joint, tie-rod end, or a broken or improperly adjusted steering gear. Other symptoms to look out for include excessive vehicle body movement over rough roads, swaying or leaning around corners, and binding when turning the steering wheel. To check the shock absorbers, push down and release the vehicle at each corner and observe if it returns to a level position within one or two bounces. Listen for any squeaks or noises from the suspension components during this test. Raise the vehicle and inspect the tires for irregular wear patterns and proper inflation. Inspect the universal joint between the steering shaft and the steering gear housing for any signs of damage or lubricant leakage. Check the steering linkage, tie-rod ends, and all suspension and steering components for looseness, damage, loose bolts, broken or disconnected parts, and deteriorated rubber bushings. While an assistant turns the steering wheel from side to side, check for free movement, chafing, and binding in the steering components. Check the ball joints by attempting to move each control 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 tears, damage, and leaking grease. Replace the ball joints if they are damaged. Lastly, inspect the CV boots for tears, cracks, and loose clamps. Replace any boots with evidence of cracks or leaking lubricant.

To remove the tripod from the driveaxle, the tripod joint snap-ring should be removed and the tripod joint should be driven out.
