my Toyota Corolla E210 (2019-2024) is vibrating while driving, what should I check?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials:
  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Jack and jack stands
  • Torque wrench
  • Wheel balancing machine
  • Alignment tools (if needed)
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.

2. Tire Pressure Check

• Use the tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
• Inflate or deflate tires to meet the manufacturer's specifications (usually found on the driver's side door jamb).

3. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Inspect all tires for visible damage or uneven wear.
• If any tires are damaged, replace them with new ones (ensure they are of the same size and type).
• If the tread is worn unevenly, consider rotating the tires or replacing them.

4. Wheel Balancing

• Remove the wheels using a jack and socket set.
• Install the wheels on a balancing machine and check for imbalance.
• Add wheel weights as necessary to achieve balance, then reattach the wheels securely.

5. Wheel Alignment

• If misalignment is found, adjust the toe, camber, and caster angles using alignment equipment.
• Follow manufacturer specifications for alignment angles.
• Tighten all bolts to the specified torque values.

6. Suspension Inspection and Repairs

• Inspect struts, shocks, and bushings for signs of wear or damage.
• Replace any worn components as necessary, following manufacturer specifications.
