Hyundai 49506-38E00 Boot Kit-Front Axle Differential Side

Rock the steering wheel back and forth with the vehicle's front wheels pointed straight ahead, while on the ground. Excessive freeplay may result from worn main shaft yoke, intermediate shaft yoke, lower arm balljoint, front wheel bearings or a broken or incorrectly adjusted steering gear. Other indications that there might be something wrong with your car's steering components include too much body movement when driving through rough roads, leaning or swaying during cornering and binding when turning the steering wheel. Test the shock absorber by pushing down on each corner of the vehicle and release it. If within one or two bounces the vehicle does not return to a level position then shocks/struts are worn out and need replacing. While bouncing the car listen for squeaks and noises coming from suspension parts. Lift the car up using a floor jack and put it on jackstands which will hold it securely in place. Of course it is also important to inspect tires for abnormal wear patterns as well as check their inflation pressures. The universal joint connecting between steering shaft and steering gear housing should be inspected as well as lubricant leakage or oozing in the gear housing itself. Dust seals and boots must not have any damage signs while at all boot clamps must never come loose anyhow; rightly so you should ensure that they have not been damaged in any way but if found loose then tighten them right away before anything else goes wrong with your machine! Examine tie-rod ends for play of excessive amount and search for disconnected parts, broken bolts and decayed rubber bushings on all suspension and steering elements Disorderly Helper In case his/her assistant turns this part from left side to right side; what needs to be done here is to make sure that all these parts can move without any problem just like they used to do before since no any rubbing has taken place again once upon some time now!!! Check for where slack exists among them. Try moving each control arm up and down on the prybar to check for play in balljoints. Any joint with play needs replacement. Inspect the balljoint boots for damage from cracking and leaking grease in them. Replace any damaged balljoints. CV Joint Boots are there to ensure that dirt, water and other foreign materials do not enter or damage CV joints. Check if any of these boots have tears, cracks or loose clamps that tell you something is wrong with it then replace as soon possible so as to prevent more coming damages within your system!

If the CV joint boots have to be replaced, one should think out of the box before proceeding since rebuilt driveaxles are available for exchange, making the process less tiresome and more efficient. Before the process of disassembly, one should know about the price of the spare parts and whether they are easily available or not. Certain auto parts stores have split type replacement boots, which can be fitted to the car without the need to remove the drive axle; however, removing the drive axle and cleaning the CV joint is recommended as it helps to prevent dirt wearing out the joint. It is not recommended to disassemble the outboard CV joints as all the outer joints are Birfield joints whereas the inner joints can differ. First, you need to detach the drive axle, and then hold it tightly, but without damaging it by putting wooden jaws to the vise. If the CV joint has too much play, or it doesn't rotate smoothly, replace it; if the boot is torn, remove it, clean it, and check for wear. Unscrew the clamps with a small screwdriver then remove the outer boot and pull the housing off the joint, identifying how the tripod and axleshaft are to be placed. Take out the snap ring Figure 11 in the tripod joint and using a hammer and a brass punch, knock off the tripod joint from the drive axle while observing the bearing surfaces. Heel all components completely with solvent while checking for wear; if the inner CV joint is worn it must be replaced; if the outer is worn, an entire new outer CV joint and axleshaft must be gotten. To reassemble, protect the splines on the axleshaft with tape, slide the clamps, and the boot onto the axleshaft and then fit the tripod or double offset joint with grease when required. Be sure that the boot is in the precise place, correct the length of the drive axle, compress the boot as much as possible, and fasten the clamps. Last but not the least, sometime after that, add the drive axle assembly.
