Vehicle Inspection Guide
Rear Suspension
• Verify torsion arm is not cracked, broken or
missing.
• Inspect the shock absorber for cracks or leaks.
There should be no missing or broken mounting
bolts or worn bushings.
Rear Brakes
• Inspect for cracked, worn or frayed hoses.
• Verify all couplings are secured.
Verify:
• there are no cracks or dents
• they are securely mounted.
Inspect for broken, loose or missing parts.
Note: The angle between the push rod and
adjuster arm should be approximately 90° when
the brakes are applied. When pulled by hand, the
push rod should not move more than
approximately one inch (2.5 cm).
Verify:
• there are no cracks, dents, holes and no loose
or missing bolts
• the brake linings are not worn, dangerously
thin or contaminated by lubricant.
Rear Wheels
Verify:
• dual wheels are evenly separated
• the tires are not touching one another.
Inspect for damaged or bent rims. Rims should
not have welding repairs, and no rust trails that
indicate it is loose on the wheel.
Verify all lug nuts are present and not loose (look
for rust trails around the lug nuts). There should
be no cracks radiating from the lug bolt holes or
distortion of the bolt holes.
