   • If the boot is damaged, remove the old CV joint and replace it with a new one.
   • Apply the appropriate grease to the new joint before installation.
4. Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.

3. Check and Replace Suspension Components

1. Examine the control arms, bushings, and struts for any signs of wear or damage.
2. If any components are worn, remove them using the appropriate socket and wrench sizes.
3. Install new control arms or bushings as necessary, ensuring to torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
4. Reassemble all components and ensure everything is securely fastened.

4. Wheel Bearing Inspection

1. Remove the front hub assembly if necessary to access the wheel bearing.
2. Inspect the wheel bearing for any roughness or play.
