Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Ensure the engine is off before starting work.
2. Adjust Tire Pressure
  • Remove valve caps from all tires.
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure pressure.
  • Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure specified in the owner’s manual.
3. Inspect and Replace Tires (if necessary)
  • Remove the front wheels using a lug wrench.
  • Inspect for uneven wear; replace tires if they are significantly worn or damaged.
  • If needed, mount new tires following the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Wheel Alignment Adjustment
  • Use an alignment machine to check the wheel alignment.
  • Adjust toe, camber, and caster to factory specifications. Typical values might be:
    • Toe: 0.05° to 0.15° (inward)
    • Camber: -0.5° to 0.5°
  • Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications (consult service manual for exact values).
5. Test Drive
  • Reinstall the wheels and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Test drive the vehicle to ensure it tracks straight without pulling to the right.
