Leakage Conditions

1. Inspect the Constant Velocity (CV) joint boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
2. Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter in the vicinity of the front wheel halfshaft joint boot, outboard and inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing locations, which is an indication of front wheel halfshaft joint boot or front wheel halfshaft joint boot clamp damage.
3. Inspect the inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing seal for leakage at the inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing.
4. Make sure the front axle wheel hub retainer is the correct prevailing torque type.
