3. Wheel Alignment

• Tools Required: Alignment machine, socket set.

4. Suspension Inspection and Repair (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, socket set, torque wrench.
• Safely lift the vehicle and place it on jack stands.
• Inspect control arms, tie rods, and bushings for any signs of wear or damage.
