Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, tire pressure gauge, alignment tool, wrench set.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
• Inflate any under-inflated tires to the recommended PSI as indicated on the driver’s door jamb.
• Recheck all tires to ensure uniformity in pressure.

3. Tire Rotation and Inspection

• Remove the wheels from the vehicle.
• Inspect tires for uneven wear; replace if necessary.
• Rotate tires if uneven wear is present, ensuring front tires are moved to the rear and vice versa.
• Reinstall the wheels and hand-tighten bolts.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Use an alignment machine to check the alignment settings.
• Adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to specifications provided in the vehicle’s service manual.
• Tighten all adjustment bolts to the specified torque values (check service manual for exact specification).

5. Suspension Component Inspection

• Inspect control arms, bushings, and tie rods for wear or damage.
• Replace any damaged components.
• Reassemble any parts that were removed for inspection.
