Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface.
  • Wear safety gear including gloves and safety glasses.
2. Tire Inspection and Inflation
  • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor
  • Check the tire pressure of all four tires using the tire pressure gauge.
  • Inflate any tires that are below the recommended pressure to the specified PSI.
  • Inspect each tire's tread depth and surface for signs of damage or uneven wear.
3. Wheel Balancing
  • Tools Required: Tire balancing machine
  • Remove the wheel from the vehicle using a jack and lug wrench.
  • Mount the wheel on the tire balancing machine.
  • Follow the machine's instructions to balance the tire, adding weights as needed.
  • Reinstall the wheel and torque the lug nuts to the specified value (usually around 76 ft-lbs for Camry).
4. Suspension Inspection
  • Tools Required: Jack stands, socket set, torque wrench
  • Raise the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Inspect the suspension components for any signs of wear, including bushings, ball joints, and struts.
  • Replace any worn components as necessary, following manufacturer specifications for torque settings when reinstalling.
5. Wheel Alignment
  • Tools Required: Alignment rack (professional service required)
  • Take the vehicle to an alignment shop to check and adjust the alignment angles.
  • Ensure that all alignment angles are within manufacturer specifications.
