Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Brake Component Inspection and Replacement
  • Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors
    • Remove the wheel using a socket set.
    • Inspect brake pads for thickness; replace if less than 3mm.
    • Check rotors for warping; measure with a micrometer or runout gauge.
  • Replace Pads and Rotors if Necessary
    • If replacement is needed, remove caliper bolts and lift the caliper off the rotor.
    • Replace the rotor by removing the retaining screws (if applicable) and sliding it off the hub.
    • Install the new rotor and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).
    • Install new brake pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring proper orientation.
    • Reattach the caliper and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 20-30 ft-lbs).
3. Suspension Component Inspection and Replacement
  • Inspect Control Arms and Bushings
    • Visually inspect control arms and bushings for cracks or excessive play.
    • Replace any damaged components with OEM parts.
  • Replace Components if Necessary
    • Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
    • Remove the lower control arm bolts and replace with new parts, torquing to manufacturer specifications.
4. Tire Check and Balancing
  • Inspect Tires
    • Check tires for uneven wear or damage.
    • If unevenly worn, consider rotating or replacing tires.
  • Balance Tires
    • Have tires balanced at a professional shop if vibrations persist after above repairs.
