Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, level surface.
• Secure the vehicle with wheel chocks and jack stands if lifting is required.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Check Tire Condition:

  • Inspect all tires for damage, bulges, or uneven wear.
  • Measure tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge; inflate to the recommended PSI if needed.

• Replace Tires:

  • If tires are worn beyond safe limits, remove old tires using a tire iron.
  • Install new tires, ensuring the correct rotation direction and seating.
  • Tighten lug nuts to manufacturer’s torque specifications (typically 100-120 ft-lbs).

3. Wheel Balancing

• Remove Wheels:

  • Jack up the vehicle and remove the wheels using a tire iron.

• Balance Wheels:

  • Take wheels to a tire shop or use a wheel balancing machine.
  • Add weights as necessary to achieve proper balance.

4. Suspension and Alignment Check

• Inspect Suspension Components:

  • Check bushings and struts for wear; replace any worn components.
  • Ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened to the specified torque.

• Perform Wheel Alignment:

  • Use an alignment machine to check and adjust camber, toe, and caster settings according to factory specifications.

5. Driveshaft and CV Joint Inspection

• Inspect Driveshaft:
  • Check for any visible wear or damage; replace if necessary.
  • Ensure driveshaft is properly aligned and secured.

6. Brake Inspection

• Examine Brake Components:
  • Check for warped rotors by inspecting for uneven wear.
  • Replace any damaged or worn brake components.
