Fwd Axle Shafts: Inspection

Wash all parts (except boots) in solvent and dry with compressed air. Wash boots with soap and water. Inspect races for excessive wear and scoring. Inspect splined areas of shafts for wear, cracks and twists. Inspect balls for pitting, cracking or scoring. Check for cracks, chips or heavy dents on cage windows.

Remove grease and any contaminates from all parts. Inspect boot, inner race, cage, outer race, axle shaft and balls for damage or wear.
