Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Wear appropriate safety gear (gloves, safety glasses).
2. Tire Inspection and Replacement
  • Inspect Tire Pressure:

    • Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire’s pressure.
    • Inflate or deflate to match manufacturer specifications.
  • Inspect Tire Condition:

    • Look for signs of wear, bulges, or damage.
    • If tires are worn unevenly or damaged, replace them.
3. Suspension Component Inspection and Repair
  • Inspect Shocks/Struts:

    • Visually inspect for leaks or physical damage.
    • If damaged, remove and replace with new shocks/struts.
      • Tools Required: Socket set, wrench set
      • Torque specifications: Refer to manufacturer service manual.
  • Check and Adjust Alignment:

    • If the alignment is off, take the vehicle to a qualified alignment shop to adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications.
4. Wheel Balancing
  • Balance Wheels:
    • If tire balancing is required, remove wheels and take them to a shop for proper balancing.
    • Ensure weights are correctly applied according to specifications.
