Check constant velocity joints

Turn the wheel in any direction until it stops. The hinges sit firmly in the long-term grease filled plastic sacks swing arms. From moisture and dirt are protected with plastic covers (Fig. 5.4).

Penetrates steel grit, sand and moisture can cause corrosion and failure of the hinge.

Check the condition of the hinged covers. If any cracks or damage, replace them.

Check the axial play in the joints (Fig. 5.5).

Check the cross-play (Fig. 5.6).
