Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and parked safely.
• Disconnect the 12V battery to prevent electrical issues while working on the vehicle.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Sub-steps:
  • Inspect all tires for visible damage, bulges, or uneven wear.
  • Measure tire pressure and adjust to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually found on the driver’s door jamb).
  • If tires are worn or damaged, replace them with new tires of the same size and specification.

3. Wheel Balancing

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the wheel from the hub using a socket set.
  • Mount the wheel on a tire balancing machine to identify heavy spots.
  • Add wheel weights as needed to achieve balance.
  • Reinstall the wheel and tighten lug nuts to the manufacturer's torque specification (usually around 100-120 ft-lbs for most vehicles).

4. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  • Use an alignment machine to check the alignment settings.
  • Adjust caster, camber, and toe as necessary to meet OEM specifications.
  • Perform a final check to ensure all settings are within acceptable ranges.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Sub-steps:
  • Inspect shock absorbers, struts, and other suspension components for wear.
  • Replace any damaged or worn suspension parts with OEM or quality aftermarket parts.
  • Ensure all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
