Kia 496091UA00 Front Axle Wheel Boot Kit

Ensure that the front wheels are facing straight ahead and let the vehicle remain on the ground. In order to determine worn or broken steering components, gently move the steering wheel from side to side. There may be symptoms like excessive body movement, binding, or swaying which may indicate faulty steering and suspension components. At each corner of the vehicle push down and release it; if within one or two bounces the vehicle does not return to a level position, replace shock absorbers/struts. Inspect tires for proper inflation and irregular wear patterns as well as check for looseness, damage or deterioration in all suspension and steering components including universal joint, track rod ends, steering linkage in addition to steering gear housing. Play should be tested in balljoints while tears, cracks and leaking grease should be checked on boots. Lastly check CV Boots for tears, cracks, loose clamps that could damage CV joints and replace them when necessary.
