Road test vehicle and check for brake pulsation, brake noise, wheel alignment pull, steering wheel centering, suspension stability, tire balance condition, transmission shifting and or clutch engagement, and engine performance concerns. Visually inspect tires for wear resulting from alignment, or balance problems. Check front and rear suspension components for wear at all visible bushings, pivots, sockets, and joints. Check the condition of all drive belts, radiator hoses, heater hoses, brake hoses, and verify level and condition of engine coolant is good. Check engine, transmission, final drive, and differentials for any oil leaks. Check CV drive axle boots for cracks or tears. Check ignition system components consisting of plugs, ignition wires, coils, and or cap and rotor if applicable. Check exhaust system fittings, clamps, and gaskets for leaks or damage and verify condition and levels of power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and differential or final drive fluid. Test all vehicle exterior lights for illumination, turn signal operation, and emergency flasher operation. Hook vehicles components to the VAT45 digital analyzer. Perform a full electrical system diagnostic including a complete analysis of starting and charging system components; vehicle battery (connections and cables), alternator output (belt tension and condition), and starter operation.
Remove the hardware and hangars attaching the existing exhaust components to the vehicle. Remove the existing exhaust components from the vehicle and mark the system for the replacement components. Clean and flare any connection ends to accept the replacement components and clean any flanges to remove any residual sealing material Position the new components into location using new gaskets, clamps, and hardware where necessary. Ensure proper clearances are met and tighten the systems fittings to specification. Road test the vehicle, and check for clearance issues as well as system leaks.
Remove the rear suspension, driveline, and braking system components necessary to access the rear hub assembly. Remove the spindle and press out the existing hub and bearing assembly. Clean spindle bore and check for warpage. Install a new wheel bearing. Press the existing hub assembly into the new bearing and set the ABS wheel speed sensor air gap, if necessary. Torque spindle mounting flange to specification and reinstall removed components. On ABS and or traction control vehicles, install data scanner and reset computer memory. Road test vehicle and verify that the ABS and traction control circuits are all within parameters.
