So After hitting a few bumps on my current project I want to make sure that I double check everything before I hit the road.

I know a lot of us snow belt guys are getting ready to get our cars back on the raod after some winter projects and figure this can help everyone.

So here is a small start.

Check Ball joint and tie-rod boots for tears
Check brake hoses for swelling and cracking
Check air pressure in your tires
Check to make sure that the CV joint bolts are all tight!!!!!
Retorque all bolts that you can since there might be things that are loose that were not part of your winter project.


What other things should be checked?

If the brake lines are 10 years old or older change them out.

Check or renew all fuel lines, hoses inside the engine compartment as they crack really fast. I change them every couple of years.
