      • Damage

      • Wear

      • Deformation

      • Cracks

      • Kinks

      • Corrosion

      • Leaks

    3. Check that the hoses and lines are not near sharp edges, moving parts or the exhaust system.

    4. Check that the lines are installed properly and pass through the center of the grommets.
