PERFORMANCE ORDER

	1. Lift and carefully fix the car on supports. Turn a wheel to the right or to the left against the stop and twist a wheel. Examine rubber protective covers of the CV JOINT, squeezing them for disclosure of bends. Check them for existence of cracks which can lead to lubricant leak, and also to penetration in water and dirt.
