Halfshafts, Front Wheel

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Constant-velocity (CV) joints must not be serviced unless disassembly and inspection reveals unusual wear. For additional information, refer to FRONT DRIVE 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.
