Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, lug wrench, tire pressure gauge, wheel balancer, alignment machine.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
Safety Warnings: Engage the parking brake before lifting the vehicle.

2. Inspect and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
- Remove the valve caps from all tire valves.
- Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
- Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to meet the recommended PSI found in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb sticker.

3. Balance Wheels

Sub-steps:
- Remove the wheels using the lug wrench and jack the vehicle.
- Mount each wheel on the wheel balancer.
- Follow the balancer’s instructions to add weights where necessary until the wheel is balanced.
- Reinstall the balanced wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.

4. Wheel Alignment

Sub-steps:
- Place the vehicle on an alignment rack.
- Adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles according to the specifications in the service manual.
- Test drive the vehicle to confirm that alignment adjustments have resolved pulling issues.

5. Inspect Suspension Components

Sub-steps:
- Visually inspect shocks, struts, and bushings for signs of wear such as leaking fluid or cracks.
- Replace any worn or damaged components with OEM parts.
- Test the vehicle’s suspension by pushing down on each corner to check for proper rebound.
