Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Ensure safety by wearing gloves and safety goggles.

2. Inspect and Replace Tires

  • Inspect Tires:
    • Check for bulges, cracks, or uneven wear.
    • Measure tire pressures and inflate to manufacturer specifications.
  • Replace Tires (if necessary):
    • Remove the wheel lug nuts using a lug wrench.
    • Replace the tire with a new or properly balanced tire.
    • Tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications (typically 80-100 lb-ft).

3. Balance Wheels

  • Balance the Wheels:
    • Remove the wheel from the car.
    • Mount the wheel on a wheel balancer.
    • Add wheel weights as needed to achieve balance.
    • Reinstall the wheel, tightening lug nuts to specified torque.

4. Perform Wheel Alignment

  • Check and Adjust Alignment:
    • Use a wheel alignment machine to assess alignment settings.
    • Adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles to meet manufacturer specifications.
    • Test drive to ensure the vehicle tracks straight.

5. Inspect Suspension Components

  • Check Suspension:
    • Visually inspect control arms, bushings, shocks, and struts for damage or wear.
    • Replace any worn or damaged components.
    • Recheck alignment after any suspension repairs.

Verification

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

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
