Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid electrical issues.
2. Brake Inspection and Replacement
  1. Remove Wheel:

    • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
    • Remove the lug nuts using a socket set and take off the wheel.
  2. Inspect Brake Components:

    • Check brake pads for thickness; replace if less than 3mm.
    • Inspect the brake rotor for warping or scoring. Use a micrometer to measure thickness; replace if below specifications.
  3. Replace Brake Pads and Rotors (if necessary):

    • Remove caliper bolts with a socket set and carefully slide the caliper off.
    • Remove old brake pads and install new ones, ensuring they are properly seated.
    • Replace the rotor by removing the retaining screws or hardware, and install the new rotor.
    • Reassemble the caliper and torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 20-30 ft-lbs).
3. Suspension Inspection and Repair
  1. Inspect Suspension Components:

    • Visually check struts, shocks, and bushings for any signs of damage or wear.
    • Replace any worn or damaged components using a socket set and appropriate tools.
  2. Check Wheel Alignment:

    • After ensuring all components are in good condition, have the vehicle’s alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
