Re: Pre/Post run checklist??

When checking the CV boots, be sure to inspect the retaining clips. I had one go bad right at the weld and was able to replace it before it leaked all over the place. It looked like it was still holding but it popped off with little effort. I did a double wire wrap with one of those little wirebanding gizmos and it held up fine. http://www.clamptitetools.com/

All bolts! May not have to do everytime, but if you do alot of bouncing and jouncing, then check the torque of
Shock mount bolts
Lower control arm bolts
Diff/third member bolts


Also, somehow I tore the little ball joint dust cover boots on the upper A-arms (stock A-arms). The grease dries out and the ball joint sticks--making a popping sound when it articulates. Finally got it fixed last month.
