Axle Shaft Assembly: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION





Driveshaft Boot
Check the boots on the driveshaft for cracks, damage, leaking grease and loose boot bands. If any damage is found, replace the boot and boot bands.

Loose Splines
Turn the driveshaft by hand and make sure the splines and joint are not excessively loose. If any damage is found, replace the inboard joint.

Twisted or Cracked
Make sure the driveshaft is not twisted or cracked. Replace it if necessary.
