Vehicle Inspection
1. Check for grease in the vicinity of the inboard tripod joint and outboard C/V joint; this is a sign of inner or outer joint seal boot or seal boot clamp
damage.
2. A light film of grease may appear on the right inner tripod joint seal boot; this is considered normal and should not require replacement of the seal
boot.
