Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: jack, jack stands, torque wrench, tire pressure gauge, wheel balancing machine, alignment tools.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and the engine is off.

2. Tire Inspection and Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheel covers if applicable.
  2. Check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge; adjust to manufacturer's specifications.
  3. Inspect tires for bulges, cuts, or uneven wear patterns; replace if necessary.

3. Wheel Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle using a jack and jack stands.
  2. Mount the wheel on a wheel balancing machine.
  3. Adjust weights as indicated by the machine to ensure the wheel is balanced.
  4. Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to the specified torque value (typically 100-120 ft-lbs).

4. Alignment Check

• Sub-steps:
  1. Take the vehicle to an alignment shop.
  2. Perform a four-wheel alignment adjustment.
  3. Ensure that all angles (camber, caster, toe) are within manufacturer specifications.

5. Suspension Inspection

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all suspension components, including control arms, bushings, and shocks.
  2. Replace any worn or damaged parts as necessary.
  3. Ensure that all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
