Power is transmitted from the differential to the front wheels through axle shafts with inner CV joints and outer "ball-and-cage" type CV joints. Inspect boots periodically for damage and leaking lubricant. Symptoms of worn or damaged CV joints include clicking noise in turns, clunk when accelerating and vibration at highway speeds. Play in the CV joints and axle shafts can be checked by rotating them in both directions.

For other models not mentioned earlier, disconnect the parking brake cables from the crank levers on the backing plates. Unscrew the nuts from the spring U-bolts and remove the spring plates.

Proceed by removing the wheel, brake drum, and brake shoes. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever on the trailing shoe and unbolt the cable casing from the backing plate. Additionally, disconnect the hydraulic line fitting from the wheel cylinder.

Before removing the driveshaft, mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the differential companion flange. Then, unbolt the driveshaft from the flange and support it with a piece of wire from the underbody.

To disconnect the upper control arm from the steering knuckle, remove the cotter pin and loosen the nut from the upper control arm ball joint. Then, break the steering knuckle loose from the ball joint by striking the steering knuckle boss where the ball stud passes through.

In 4WD models, a fully independent front axle assembly is utilized. This assembly includes a differential and a pair of drive axles, each equipped with inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints.
