Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and safety equipment.
  • Tools Required:
    • Hydraulic jack
    • Jack stands
    • Torque wrench
    • Socket set
    • Pry bar
    • Inspection mirror
    • Flashlight
2. Lift Vehicle
  • Use the hydraulic jack to lift the front or rear of the vehicle as needed.
  • Place jack stands under the vehicle's designated lift points to ensure stability.
  • Safety Warning: Always use jack stands; never rely solely on the hydraulic jack.
3. Visual Inspection
  • Use the flashlight to examine all visible suspension components including control arms, struts, and sway bar links.
  • Check for any signs of oil leakage on shocks or struts.
  • Look for any signs of physical damage such as dents or bends in the components.
4. Check for Play
  • Grasp the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions and push/pull to check for play.
  • Repeat the process at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions.
  • If excessive movement is detected, inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for wear.
5. Examine Bushings
  • Use a pry bar to gently move the control arms and check the condition of the bushings.
  • Inspect for any signs of cracking or softening in the rubber material.
6. Inspect Coil Springs
  • Examine the coil springs for any signs of corrosion, cracks, or sagging.
  • Ensure the springs are seated correctly in their mounts.
