Solution

1. Tire Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a socket set.
  2. Mount the tires on a tire balancing machine.
  3. Add or adjust weights as necessary to achieve balance.
  4. Reinstall the wheels on the vehicle, ensuring lug nuts are torqued to manufacturer specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the valve caps from all tires.
  2. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
  3. Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure (usually found in the door jamb or owner's manual).
  4. Replace valve caps securely.

3. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Sub-steps:
  1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Inspect control arms, bushings, struts, and other suspension components for wear or damage.
  3. Replace any worn or damaged parts with OEM or high-quality aftermarket components.
  4. Lower the vehicle back to the ground once repairs are complete.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. After ensuring all components are in good condition, take the vehicle to a professional alignment shop.
  2. Have the technician perform a four-wheel alignment according to manufacturer specifications.
  3. Confirm adjustments are made to camber, caster, and toe angles as needed.

5. Brake Inspection

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect brake rotors and pads for wear, focusing on any signs of warping.
  2. If rotors are found to be warped, replace them with OEM rotors.
  3. Reassemble the brake components and ensure proper operation.
