Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during repairs.

2. Inspect Suspension Components

• Sub-steps:
  • Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the front and rear wheels to access the suspension.
  • Visually inspect the struts, shocks, control arms, and bushings for wear or damage.
• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, socket set

3. Tighten or Replace Loose Fasteners

• Sub-steps:
  • Check all suspension bolts and nuts for tightness using a torque wrench.
  • If any fasteners are found loose, refer to the manufacturer’s torque specifications and tighten accordingly.
  • Replace any damaged or worn fasteners if necessary.
• Tools Required: Torque wrench, socket set

4. Replace Worn Suspension Components

• Sub-steps:
  • If any components are found to be damaged, proceed to remove the affected parts (e.g., struts, shocks, or bushings).
  • Install new components following the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Ensure proper alignment of all parts and torque to the specified values.
• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, possibly a spring compressor for strut replacement
