  • Inflate or deflate the tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically found on the driver's door jamb.
3. Alignment Adjustment
  • Mount the vehicle on an alignment rack.
  • Follow the machine's instructions to measure current alignment settings.
  • Adjust the camber, caster, and toe settings to meet manufacturer specifications, usually found in the service manual.
4. Suspension Inspection and Repair
  • Safely lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Visually inspect each suspension component for signs of wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn or damaged parts as necessary, ensuring all fasteners are torqued to manufacturer's specifications.
5. Tire Replacement (if necessary)
