4x4 Safety Inspection
With the engine inspection complete, it's time to move on to the chassis. Secure the front axlehousing on jackstands and check the condition of the wheel bearings. Grasp the top and bottom of a tire and rock it back and forth to check for excessive wheel bearing play (it's heard as much as it's felt). Any play means the wheel bearings should be repacked, and an extreme amount of play may indicate a bearing is shot. Also check the tire tread for abnormal wear and cuts. View Related Article
