B-4-SUSPENSION AND STEERING
-
Check for
damaged, loose or missing parts, or parts showing visible
signs of excessive wear or lack of lubrication in front and rear
suspension and steering system. Questionable parts noted
should be replaced by a qualified mechanic without delay.
B-5-BRAKES AND POWER STEERING
-
Check
lines and hoses for proper attachment, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, deterioration, etc. Any questionable parts noted
should be replaced or repaired immediately. When abrasion
or wear is evident on lines or hoses, the cause must be
corrected.
B-6-ENGIN E DRIVE BELTS*
-
Check belts driving
fan, AIR pump, generator, power steering pump and air
conditioning compressor for cracks, fraying, wear and
tension. Adjust or replace as necessary.
B-7-DRUM BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE
-
(See item B-2 for disc brake check.) Check drum brake linings
for wear or cracks and other internal brake components at
each wheel (drums, wheel cylinders, etc.). Parking brake
adjustment also should be checked whenever drum brake
linings are checked.
NOTE: More frequent brake checks should be made if
driving conditions and habits result in frequent brake
application.
B-8-THROTTLE LINKAGE
-
Check for damaged or
missing parts, interference or binding. Any deficiencies
should be corrected without delay by a qualified mechanic.
B-9-U N DE R BODY
-
Corrosive materials used for ice
and snow removal and dust control can accumulate on the
underbody. If allowed to remain, these materials can result
in accelerated rusting and deterioration of underbody
components, such as fuel lines, frame and floor pan, exhaust
system, etc. At least once each year, preferably after a
winter's exposure, these corrosive materials should be
removed by flushing the underbody with plain water.
Particular attention should be given to cleaning out those
areas where mud and other foreign materials collect.
B-10-BUMPERS
-
Check the front and rear bumper
systems at 12-month/15,000 mile intervals to be sure that
impact protection and clearance originally designed into
these systems remain in a state of full readiness. They also
should be checked whenever there is obvious bumper
misalignment, or whenever the vehicle has been involved in
a significant collision in which the bumpers were struck, even
when slight or no damage to the bumper systems can be seen.
