Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, jack, jack stands, torque wrench, alignment tool, wheel balancing machine.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off. Engage the parking brake.

2. Tire Inspection and Inflation

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the hubcaps or wheel covers if applicable.
  2. Check each tire's pressure using a tire pressure gauge; inflate to the recommended PSI found in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb.
  3. Inspect tires for visible damage, bulges, or uneven wear patterns.

3. Wheel Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a jack and jack stands.

4. Suspension Inspection

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all suspension components for wear, including bushings, control arms, and struts.
  2. Check for any loose or damaged parts; replace components as necessary.
  3. Tighten any loose bolts to the specified torque values in the service manual.

5. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Use an alignment tool to check the alignment of the front and rear wheels.
  2. Adjust the alignment settings to meet factory specifications, making sure to check camber, caster, and toe angles.
  3. Test drive the vehicle again to verify the improvement in handling.

6. Drivetrain Evaluation

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the driveshaft for any signs of bending or wear; replace if necessary.
  2. Check axles and CV joints for play or damage and replace any worn components.
  3. Ensure all drivetrain components are properly lubricated.
