Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
Use wheel chocks to secure the rear tires.

2. Tire Inspection and Rotation

Remove the front wheels using a socket set.
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and replace if necessary.
Rotate the front tires to the rear if tread depth allows, or replace them if damaged.

3. Wheel Alignment Adjustment

Mount the vehicle on an alignment rack.
Adjust the camber, caster, and toe settings to match the manufacturer's specifications.
Tighten all adjustment bolts to the specified torque values (consult the service manual for exact specifications).

4. Suspension Component Replacement (if necessary)

Remove and replace any damaged suspension components, such as control arms or tie rods.
Reassemble and torque components to the manufacturer's specifications.
