The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or
worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by
cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the hose may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with
wheel, tire or chassis.
14. BALL JOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
MOOSglC1. These components, which are permanently lubricated at
the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage or
contamination of the grease.
2.Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakageIdand damage. Replace them if defective.

Replace it if defective.
16. REAR AXLE (CONVENTIONAL DIFFEREN-
TIAL) (Inspect oil level)
- AWDMOOSBPDRemove the filler plug and inspect the oil level at bottom of filler
hole. If the oil level is slightly below the filler hole, it is in
satisfactory condition.
