Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts needed for inspection and repair.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
  • Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.

2. Brake Inspection and Replacement

  1. Remove Wheel:

    • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
    • Remove lug nuts with a socket wrench and take off the wheel.
  2. Inspect Brake Components:

    • Check the brake pads for thickness; replace if below specifications (usually 3mm or less).
    • Inspect the rotors for warping or scoring; machine or replace if necessary.
  3. Replace Brake Pads and Rotors:

    • Remove caliper bolts and slide off the caliper.
    • Replace pads and, if necessary, the rotor (remove retaining screws if applicable).
    • Reassemble caliper and tighten bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 25-35 lb-ft).

3. Engine Mount Inspection and Replacement

  1. Locate Engine Mounts:

    • Identify and access the engine mounts by removing any obstructing components.
  2. Inspect and Replace:

    • Check for cracks or excessive wear in the rubber of the mounts.
    • If damaged, remove bolts securing the mount and replace with new units, tightening to manufacturer specifications.

4. Suspension Component Inspection

  1. Visual Inspection:

    • Look for any signs of wear on bushings, tie rods, and control arms.
  2. Replace Worn Components:

    • If any parts are worn, use a socket set to remove them. Install new parts and torque to specifications.

Verification

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

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
