Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Engage the parking brake and wear safety goggles.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

Remove the wheel covers (if applicable) using a flathead screwdriver.
Loosen the lug nuts with a lug wrench while the vehicle is on the ground.
Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
Remove the wheels and inspect tires for damage; replace any tires that are severely worn or damaged.

3. Wheel Balancing

Mount tires onto the wheel balancing machine.
Spin the tires to determine the amount of weight needed for balance.
Attach wheel weights as necessary to achieve proper balance.

4. Wheel Alignment

Place the vehicle on an alignment rack.
Adjust the camber, caster, and toe settings according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Confirm alignment adjustments are within acceptable limits.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

Inspect struts and shocks for leaks; replace if necessary.
Check control arms and bushings for wear; replace worn components.
Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
