Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the ignition is off.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during repairs.
2. Inspect and Replace Brake Components
  1. Remove Front Wheels

    • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
    • Remove lug nuts with a socket wrench and take off the wheels.
  2. Check Brake Rotors and Pads

    • Inspect brake pads for wear; replace if the thickness is less than 3mm.
    • Measure rotor thickness with a micrometer; if below minimum specifications, replace the rotors.
  3. Resurface or Replace Rotors

    • If rotors are warped, either resurface them if within tolerance or replace them.
    • Ensure the new or resurfaced rotors are clean and free of debris.
  4. Install New Brake Pads

    • Apply brake grease to the backing of new pads and install them in the caliper.
    • Reassemble the caliper and ensure it is properly secured.
3. Suspension Component Inspection and Replacement
  1. Inspect Suspension Components

    • Check for any signs of wear or damage in control arms, bushings, and tie rod ends.
    • Replace any worn or damaged components.
  2. Align Wheels

    • After replacing any suspension components, perform a wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
4. Reassemble and Test
  1. Reinstall Wheels

    • Place the wheels back on and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
    • Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.
  2. Reconnect Battery

    • Reconnect the battery and ensure all electrical systems are functioning.
