Solution

1. Tire Inspection and Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the hubcaps or wheel covers if applicable.
  2. Inspect each tire for uneven wear, bulges, or foreign objects.
  3. Check and adjust tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge to match the recommended levels found in the owner's manual.
  4. Reinstall the hubcaps or wheel covers.

2. Driveshaft and CV Joint Inspection

• Sub-steps:
  1. Lift the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Visually inspect the driveshaft for any bends or cracks.
  3. Check the CV joints for any torn boots or grease leakage.
  4. Rotate the driveshaft by hand to listen for any unusual noises or resistance.

3. Engine and Transmission Mount Check

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the engine and transmission mounts by referring to the vehicle service manual.
  2. Inspect the mounts for cracks, separation, or excessive movement while the engine is idling.
  3. If the mounts are damaged, remove the old mounts using a socket set and replace them with new ones, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

4. Wheel Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the wheels and take them to a tire shop for balancing.
  2. Ensure that the wheel weights are correctly applied to balance each wheel.
  3. Reinstall the wheels and tighten lug nuts to the specified torque.

Tools Required:

• Hydraulic jack
