  • Adjust the tire pressure to match the manufacturer’s specifications (found in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s door jamb).
3. Wheel Alignment
  • Tools Required: Wheel alignment machine, jack, jack stands, torque wrench.
  • Raise the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Connect the wheel alignment machine to the front and rear wheels.
  • Adjust the alignment angles (camber, caster, toe) according to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Tighten all suspension components to the specified torque values after adjustments.
4. Suspension Inspection and Repair
  • Inspect struts, shocks, and other suspension components for wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn or damaged parts with OEM or quality aftermarket equivalents.
  • Safety Warning: Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working under the vehicle.
