Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: jack, jack stands, tire pressure gauge, wheel balancer, alignment rack.
Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
Inflate or deflate tires to meet specifications found in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s door jamb.

3. Tire Inspection and Replacement

Remove the wheels using a socket set.
Inspect tires for damage and tread wear.
- If tires are damaged or excessively worn, replace them with new tires.
Reinstall wheels and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque (usually around 80-100 ft-lbs).

4. Wheel Balancing

Mount tires on a wheel balancing machine.
Follow the machine's instructions to balance each tire.
Mark and re-install the balanced tires on the vehicle.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

Visually inspect suspension components for wear or damage.
If any components are found to be defective (e.g., ball joints, tie rods), replace them using appropriate tools.
Reassemble any removed components and ensure all are securely fastened.

6. Wheel Alignment

Place the vehicle on an alignment rack.
Follow the machine's instructions to adjust the alignment to manufacturer specifications.
Recheck alignment after adjustments to ensure proper settings.
