Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Wear safety gloves and goggles.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Inspect Tires:
  • Examine all tires for uneven wear patterns.
  • Check tire pressure and inflate to manufacturer specifications if necessary.
• Replace Tires (if necessary):
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and remove the wheel lug nuts with a lug wrench.
  • Replace any damaged or worn tires and reassemble the wheels.

3. Suspension Component Replacement

• Inspect Suspension:
  • Check control arms, ball joints, and bushings for damage.
• Replace Components (if necessary):
  • Remove the affected components using appropriate socket sizes and torque specifications.
  • Install new parts and ensure they are torqued to manufacturer specifications.

4. Drivetrain Inspection and Repair

• Inspect Driveshaft and CV Joints:
  • Check for any visible cracks or excessive play.
• Replace Driveshaft or CV Joints (if necessary):
  • Remove the driveshaft using a socket set, ensuring to mark the orientation.
  • Replace with new parts and reassemble, using torque specifications.

5. Engine and Transmission Mounts Replacement
