Solution

1. Tire Inspection and Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure each tire's pressure.
  • Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended PSI listed on the driver’s side door jamb.
  • Visually inspect each tire for damage or uneven wear.

2. Wheel Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a socket wrench.
  • Mount each wheel on a tire balancing machine.
  • Add weights as required to balance the wheel properly.
  • Reinstall the balanced wheels on the vehicle, ensuring proper torque (typically 100-150 ft-lbs).

3. Suspension Inspection

• Sub-steps:
  • Lift the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Inspect tie rods, control arms, and bushings for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn components with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts.
  • Reassemble the suspension components and ensure proper torque specifications are met.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  • Drive the vehicle onto an alignment rack.
  • Follow the manufacturer's specifications to adjust camber, caster, and toe angles.
  • Confirm that all adjustments are within the specified ranges.
