Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, lug wrench, micrometer, torque wrench, OBD-II scanner.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Remove Wheels

  • Loosen lug nuts with a lug wrench while the vehicle is on the ground.
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheels to access the braking system.

3. Inspect and Replace Brake Components

  • Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors:
    • Check for uneven wear on brake pads.
    • Measure rotor thickness with a micrometer; replace if below minimum specification.
  • Replace Brake Pads:
    • Remove caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor.
    • Remove old brake pads and install new pads, ensuring they are properly seated.
  • Replace Brake Rotors (if necessary):
    • Remove the rotor by removing any retaining clips or screws.
    • Install the new rotor, ensuring it is aligned correctly.

4. Inspect Suspension Components

  • Check control arms and bushings for signs of wear.
  • Replace any worn or damaged components as necessary.

5. Reassemble and Torque Components

  • Reinstall the wheels and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
  • Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
