Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required:
  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Jack and jack stands
  • Wheel chocks
  • Alignment machine
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Use wheel chocks to prevent rolling.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  • Check the tire pressure on all tires using a tire pressure gauge.
  • Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended pressure found on the driver’s door jamb.

3. Tire Inspection and Rotation

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the front wheels using a socket set.
  • Inspect tires for uneven wear or damage.
  • If needed, rotate the front tires to the rear to promote even wear.

4. Alignment Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  • Position the vehicle on an alignment machine.
  • Adjust the alignment angles (camber, caster, and toe) according to manufacturer's specifications.
  • Ensure the steering wheel is centered during the alignment process.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Sub-steps:
  • Visually inspect control arms, tie rods, and struts for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
  • Replace any worn or damaged components, using appropriate OEM or quality aftermarket parts.
  • Recheck the alignment after any suspension repairs.
