DIAGNOSIS & TESTING
Vehicle Inspection
Inspect the following for leaks or damage:
• Check for grease in the vicinity of the inboard tripod joint and outboard CV joint.
• Check the inner or outer joint seal boot or seal boot clamp for damage.
Noise Or Vibration On Turns
A clicking noise or a vibration in turns could be caused by one of the following conditions:
• Damaged outer CV joint or damaged CV seal boot or seal boot clamps.
• Damaged inner CV joint or damaged CV seal boot or seal boot clamps.
• Noise may also be caused by another component of the vehicle coming in contact with the half shafts.
NOTE :
If the CV seal boot is damaged, this will result in the loss and/or contamination of the joint grease, resulting in inad-
equate lubrication of the joint.

This noise may be a result of one of the following conditions:
• A torn seal boot on the inner or outer joint of the half shaft assembly.
• A loose or missing clamp on the inner or outer joint of the half shaft assembly.
• A damaged or worn half shaft CV joint.
Shudder Or Vibration During Acceleration
This problem could be a result of:
• A worn or damaged half shaft inner tripod joint.
• Improper wheel alignment.
