Part C: Periodic Maintenance

Inspections

Listed in this part are inspections and services which

should be performed at least twice a year (for instance,

each spring and fall). You should let your dealer’s

service department or other qualified service center do

these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are

completed at once.

Proper procedures to perform these services may be

found in a service manual. See “Service and Owner

Publications” in the Index.

Steering and Suspension Inspection

Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering

system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of

wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering

lines and hoses for proper hook

-up, binding, leaks,

cracks, chafing, etc.

Exhaust System Inspection

Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body

near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged,

missing or out

-of-position parts as well as open seams,

holes, loose connections or other conditions which could

cause a heat build

-up in the floor pan or could let

exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in

the Index.

Engine Cooling System Inspection

Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are

cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes, fittings

and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the outside of the

radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help ensure

proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and

pressure cap is recommended at least once a year.

Throttle System Inspection

Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding, and for

damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as needed. Replace

any components that have high effort or excessive wear. Do

not lubricate accelerator and cruise control cables.

Rear Axle Service

Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if

needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index. A fluid loss may

indicate a problem. Check the axle and repair it if needed.

Brake System Inspection

Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and

hoses for proper hook

-up, binding, leaks, cracks,

chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors

for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings

for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including

drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.

Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have

your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits

or conditions result in frequent braking.
