Solution

1. Tire Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a lug wrench.
  2. Place the wheels on a tire balancing machine.
  3. Add weights as necessary to balance the wheels.
  4. Reinstall the wheels on the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 100-120 ft-lbs).

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Sub-steps:
  1. Check for any punctures, bulges, or uneven wear on the tires.
  2. If tires are worn or damaged, replace them with new tires that meet the manufacturer's specifications.
  3. Ensure the replacement tires are properly balanced.

3. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Use alignment equipment to check the alignment settings.
  2. Adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles as needed to bring them within specifications.
  3. Test the alignment to ensure it is holding correctly.

4. Driveline Inspection and Repair

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the driveshaft for any visible damage or imbalance.

5. Suspension Component Check

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect suspension bushings, shocks, and struts for wear.
  2. Replace any worn or damaged components.
  3. Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications.
