1. Put in front of the car on the goats.
2. Vehicles with a diesel engine. Remove mudguard (protection) engine, see relevant chapter.
3. Illuminate the right and left cuffs 3 with a flashlight and inspect them for damage (see illustration). Pay special attention to traces of oil on the cuffs themselves and around them.
4. Inspect the cuffs for cracks, fraying, or dents.
5. Turn the steering wheel all the way to one side and then to the other side so that the steering cuffs are stretched and they can be checked in this state for tightness.
