1. Preparation

• Tools Required: Socket set, jack stands, torque wrench, pry bar, lubricant
• Raise the front of the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and secure it with jack stands for safety.

2. Inspect and Replace CV Joints

1. Remove the wheel:
   • Loosen lug nuts slightly before lifting the vehicle.
   • Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.

   • Examine the CV joint for cracks or tears in the boot.
   • If damaged, remove the CV axle from the hub.
3. Replace CV joint:
   • Use a pry bar to detach the CV joint from the transmission if necessary.
   • Install the new CV joint or axle by reversing the removal steps.
   • Ensure proper alignment and secure with bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 45-50 Nm).

1. Check suspension parts:
   • Look for worn-out bushings or ball joints.
   • If any parts are worn, mark for replacement.
