other brake parts.
Steering, Suspension, and
Chassis Components
Visually inspect steering, suspension, and
chassis components for damaged, loose, or
missing parts or signs of wear at least once
ayear.
Inspect power steering for proper
attachment, connections, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc.
Visually check constant velocity joint boots and
axle seals for leaks.
Body Component Lubrication
Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood hinges,
liftgate hinges, and the steel fuel door hinges,
unless the components are plastic. Applying
silicone grease on weatherstrips with aclean
cloth will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Underbody Maintenance

water to flush any corrosive materials from the
underbody. Take care to thoroughly clean any
areas where mud and other debris can collect.
Do not directly power wash the transfer case
and/or front/rear axle output seals. High
pressure water can overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the transfer case and/or
axles and should be replaced.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet
metal repair or replacement, make sure
the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to parts repaired or replaced to restore
corrosion protection.
Original manufacturer replacement parts
will provide the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle warranty.

touch-up materials available from your dealer
to avoid corrosion. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer's body
and paint shop.
