brake linings/shoes for wear or
cracks. Inspect all other brake parts.

Steering, Suspension, and
Chassis Components

Visually inspect steering,
suspension, and chassis
components for damaged, loose,
or missing parts or signs of wear at

attachment, connections, binding,
leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.

Visually check constant velocity joint
boots and axle seals for leaks.
