1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off.
  • Gather necessary tools including a jack, jack stands, wheel chocks, and an OBD-II scanner.
2. Tire Inspection
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the hubcaps or wheel covers if applicable.
    2. Inspect each tire for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or punctures.
    3. Measure the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge and inflate to the recommended PSI.
    4. If any tire is damaged, replace it with a new tire of the same size and type.
3. Wheel Alignment and Balance
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Take the vehicle to a professional shop for a wheel alignment check.
    2. Have the tires balanced if necessary, especially if they show signs of uneven wear.
4. Suspension Component Inspection
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
    2. Visually inspect control arms, bushings, and struts for any signs of wear or damage.
    3. Replace any worn or damaged suspension components.
5. Engine and Transmission Mounts
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Inspect engine and transmission mounts for cracks or separation.
