Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, jack and jack stands, lug wrench, wheel alignment tool, torque wrench.
Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely elevated with jack stands.
Disconnect the battery if working with electronic components.

2. Tire Inspection and Balance

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the wheel covers if applicable.
2. Check tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge; inflate to recommended PSI.
3. Inspect tires for any visible damage (cracks, bulges) or uneven wear patterns.
4. If tires are damaged or excessively worn, replace them.
5. If tires are in good condition, take the vehicle to a shop for a road force balance.

3. Suspension Inspection

Sub-steps:
1. Visually inspect shock absorbers, struts, and control arms for signs of wear or leakage.
2. Check for loose or damaged bushings and links.
3. Replace any worn or damaged suspension components as necessary.

4. Wheel Alignment

Sub-steps:
1. Using a wheel alignment tool, measure the alignment angles (camber, caster, toe).
2. Adjust the alignment settings according to the manufacturer specifications.
3. Tighten all fasteners to the specified torque values.
4. Test drive the vehicle post-alignment to ensure the shaking has been resolved.
