When the vehicle is raised, the protective covers of the driveshaft joints can be easily checked. Press where shown in the figure, the protruding parts of the cover (arrow) aside to check for possible damage.
Rotate the wheel and check both shaft boots for small cracks and bruises.
Check if the clamp is firmly seated. Tighten the clamp if necessary.
