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.
Clunking Noise During Acceleration
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.
Vibration At High Speeds
This problem could be a result of:
•Foreign material (mud, etc.) packed on the backside of the wheel(s).
• Out of balance tires or wheels.
• Improper tire or wheel runout.

11. While holding the bolt heads stationary, remove the two nuts (1) from the bolts attaching the strut to the
knuckle.
(Tighten: Strut to the knuckle nuts to 135 N·m)
NOTE :
Do not allow the half shaft to hang by the inner C/V joint. It must be supported to keep the joint from separating
during this operation.
12. Pull the knuckle off the half shaft outer C/V joint splines and remove the knuckle from the vehicle.
13. If required, remove the screws fastening the shield to the knuckle.
14. If required, use a suitable tool to press the hub and bearing out of the knuckle.
15. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• After installing the front steering knuckle, perform a front end alignment (See Front Wheel Alignment in Section
10 Suspension).
Front Lower Control Arm
Description
The lower control arm is located between the steering knuckle and the vehicle sub-frame. The lower control arm uses
a lower ball joint on the outer end and two sub-frame mounts on the inner end.
Operation
The front lower control arm supports the steering knuckle. The lower control arm controls the vehicle steering by
maintaining the proper wheel alignment through all driving conditions.
Removal & Installation
NOTE :
Inspect the lower control arm for signs of damage from contact with the ground or road debris. If the lower control
arm shows any sign of damage, look for distortion. Do not attempt to repair or straighten a broken or bent lower
control arm. If damaged, the lower control arm is serviced only as a complete component.
