Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts before starting the repair.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.

2. Tire Rotation and Inspection

  1. Remove the front tires:
    • Use a socket set to loosen the lug nuts and remove the front wheels.
  2. Inspect the tires:
    • Check for uneven wear and replace any damaged tires if necessary.
  3. Rotate tires if uneven wear is found:
    • Swap the front tires with the rear tires to promote even wear.

3. Wheel Alignment

  1. Set up alignment equipment:
    • Position the alignment machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Adjust the alignment angles:
    • Follow the machine's readouts to adjust toe, camber, and caster to factory specifications.
    • Use a torque wrench to tighten any adjustable suspension components to specified torque values.

4. Suspension Inspection and Repair

  1. Inspect all suspension components:
    • Look for any signs of wear, such as cracked bushings or leaking struts.
  2. Replace any damaged components:
    • If any parts are worn, replace them with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts as needed.
