Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather required tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues during repairs.
2. Inspect and Replace Brake Components
  1. Remove Wheel

    • Use a socket set to loosen the lug nuts and lift the vehicle with a jack.
    • Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
  2. Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors

    • Visually check brake pads for thickness; replace if worn below manufacturer specifications (usually less than 3mm).
    • Measure rotor thickness with a micrometer; replace if below specified minimum thickness.
    • Look for scoring or warping on the rotor surface. Replace if damage is present.
  3. Check Calipers

    • Inspect brake calipers for sticking or uneven wear.
    • If calipers are seized or malfunctioning, replace them.
  4. Reassemble Brake System

    • Install new brake pads and, if needed, new rotors.
    • Reinstall calipers and ensure all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications (usually 20-40 ft-lbs).
    • Replace the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
3. Inspect Suspension Components
  1. Check for Wear

    • Inspect control arms, bushings, and ball joints for any signs of deterioration or play. Replace any worn components.
  2. Alignment Check

    • If suspension components are replaced, perform a wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
