Instruments and electrical equipment
1. Inspect shock absorbers for signs of fluid leakage. If a leak is present, the shock absorber must be replaced.
2. Test the effectiveness of the shock absorbers by rocking the car up and down.
Steering and suspension
Check the operation of the steering and suspension. Check that there is no vibration or noise when driving.
Transmission
Check the operation of the engine, clutch, gearbox and axle shafts. Check that they do not make any unusual noise when moving.
Brake system
1. Check that the car does not pull to the side when braking, and that the wheels do not lock up too early.
2. Check that the steering wheel does not shake when braking.
3. Check the operation of the hand brake and brake booster. To do this, depress the brake pedal several times and start the engine. The pedal should go down a little. Let the engine run for a few minutes and shut it down. Press the brake pedal. You should hear the vacuum booster hiss. After a few clicks, it should stop, and the pedal should become much stiffer.
