WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged,
loose or missing parts, signs of wear,
or lack of lubrication. Inspect the
power steering lines and hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then
inspect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace-
seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust
system. Inspect the body near the
exhaust system. Look for broken,
damaged, missing or out-of-position
parts as well as open seams, holes,
loose connections, or other
conditions which could cause a heat
build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See
"Engine Exhaust" in the Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for
interference or binding, and for
damaged or missing parts. Replace
parts as needed.
