Inspection and Verification

Halfshafts

NOTE: While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions. Indentations must be removed.

^ Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears, or splits.
^ Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
