Solution

1. Tire Inspection and Adjustment

Sub-steps:
- Check all tires for proper pressure with a tire gauge.
- Inflate tires to the recommended PSI found in the owner’s manual or on the driver's door jamb.
- Inspect tires for any bulges, cracks, or foreign objects lodged in the tread.

2. Wheel Balancing

Sub-steps:
- Remove each wheel from the vehicle using a lug wrench.
- Mount the wheel on a wheel balancer and spin to check for imbalances.
- Add weights as necessary to balance the wheel.
- Reinstall wheels and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).

3. Suspension Inspection

Sub-steps:
- Lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure with jack stands.
- Inspect control arms, bushings, tie rod ends, and struts for signs of wear.
- Replace any worn or damaged components with OEM or quality aftermarket parts.

4. Wheel Alignment

Sub-steps:
- Using an alignment machine, check the alignment settings (caster, camber, toe) against manufacturer specifications.
- Adjust the alignment by loosening bolts and repositioning suspension components as needed.
- Re-tighten bolts to specified torque settings.
