Park on flat ground with a gear engaged and the handbrake on to check underneath. It’s important to remove the wading plugs right away so leaking oil can drain away. While underneath, check for stones and branches lodged in suspension, steering and chassis parts. Check the exhaust, fuel lines, break pipes and hoses are secure, and investigate any that have been distorted. Look for bends along the steering, track road and drag link.
Inspect the inner side of the tyres for cuts and bulges and lost balance weights, and remove clumps of mud from the wheel which will throw it out of balance. Check treads for cuts and sharp stones, crawl out and check the outside of the wheels and tyers and shift any mud that might drop into the road. Off road centres will have a presser wash, otherwise find a stream and use a bucket dropping mud on the road is illegal.
