Drivetrain

Inspect the U-joints, condition of the driveshaft and the differential housing. The weakest link in the drive train usually breaks first. Most often it is the U-joints. Make sure there is no excessive "play" in the drive train. Check the level of the differential fluid and look for signs of any leaks. For FWD cars, check the half shafts and the CV boots. Cracked or leaking CV boots should be replaced.
