2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG
(DRIVER'S SIDE: See page RS±15)
(PASSENGER'S SIDE: See page RS±29)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT LOWER BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with stands.
(b) Make sure the front wheels are in a straight±ahead posi-
tion, and depress the brake pedal.
(c) Jack up the lower suspension arm until there is about half
a load on the front coil spring.
(d) Inspect the dust cover for damage.
5. CHECK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND
DIFFERENTIAL
Visually check the automatic transmission and differential for oil
leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair it.
6. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
(See page DI±318)
7. REPLACE DIFFERENTIAL OIL
