Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
  • Safety Warning: Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

  • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
  • Inflate or deflate tires to match the manufacturer’s recommended specifications, which can usually be found on a sticker inside the driver's door.

3. Tire Rotation (if uneven wear is detected)

  • Loosen the lug nuts on the front and rear wheels.
  • Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheels and rotate them according to the recommended rotation pattern for the vehicle.
  • Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the specified torque value (usually around 80-100 ft-lb).

4. Wheel Alignment

  • Use a wheel alignment machine to adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Follow the machine’s instructions to ensure proper alignment.
  • Make sure to check and adjust both the front and rear wheels as necessary.

5. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components (if needed)

  • If any suspension components (such as control arms, bushings, or struts) are found to be damaged, remove them using appropriate tools (such as a socket set).
  • Replace damaged components with new parts, ensuring to torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  • Recheck the alignment after replacing any suspension parts.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:
