Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Gather the following tools:
    • Tire pressure gauge
    • Jack and jack stands
    • Socket set
    • Alignment tool (if available)
2. Tire Pressure Adjustment
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
  • Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure listed in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s door jamb.
3. Wheel Alignment
  • Lift the vehicle using the jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove any wheel covers if applicable.
  • Use an alignment tool to check and adjust the wheel angles (camber, caster, and toe) to the manufacturer’s specifications.
    • If necessary, loosen the bolts on the adjustment components and reposition according to specifications.
    • Torque the bolts to the specified values (check the service manual for exact torque settings).
4. Suspension Inspection
  • Visually inspect suspension components such as tie rods, ball joints, and struts for signs of wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn components as needed.
    • For example, if a tie rod is worn, remove the old tie rod and install a new one, ensuring to check alignment afterward.
5. Tire Rotation
  • Rotate the tires according to the recommended rotation pattern (front-to-back or criss-cross).
  • Reinstall the tires and torque the lug nuts to the specified value.
