Solution

1. Tire Pressure Adjustment

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor
Instructions:
- Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
- Inflate or deflate the tires to match the manufacturer's recommended specifications found on the door jamb sticker.

2. Tire Rotation or Replacement

Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench
Instructions:
- If uneven tire wear is observed, rotate the tires to promote even wear.
- If tires are worn beyond safety limits or have severe damage, replace them with new tires.
- Ensure to balance the new tires during installation.

3. Wheel Alignment

Tools Required: Wheel alignment machine, alignment tools
Instructions:
- Drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack and follow the machine's setup procedures.
- Adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Test drive the vehicle post-alignment to ensure the pulling sensation is resolved.

4. Suspension Component Repair/Replacement

Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, pry bar
Instructions:
- If damaged components are found during inspection, replace worn or damaged parts such as control arms, bushings, or tie rods.
- Ensure all fasteners are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications during reassembly.
