Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely raised using jack stands.
  • Disconnect the battery if working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Differential Fluid

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Locate the differential drain plug and remove it using a socket wrench.
    2. Allow the old fluid to drain completely into a suitable container.
    3. Inspect the fluid for metal shavings or burnt smell.
    4. Replace with manufacturer-recommended differential fluid using a funnel.
    5. Reinstall the drain plug and torque it to the manufacturer's specifications.

3. Check and Replace Wheel Bearings

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the rear wheel to access the wheel bearing.
    2. Use a dial indicator to check for play in the wheel bearing by rotating the hub.
    3. If play is detected, remove the brake assembly and hub.
    4. Press out the old bearing and install the new bearing using a bearing press.
    5. Reassemble the hub and brake assembly, ensuring all components are torqued to specifications.

4. Inspect Suspension Components

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Visually inspect all rear suspension components for signs of damage or wear.
    2. Check for loose bolts or bushings on control arms and sway bars.
    3. Replace any damaged components using appropriate tools and torque specifications.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
