Tires
1. Check and, if necessary, adjust the tire pressure. Check the condition and general wear of the tires. If the wear is uneven, it is recommended to have the tires inspected by a workshop to adjust the suspension geometry.
Suspension
2. It is necessary to raise and put the car on stands, then inspect the parts that make up the suspension and control system for signs of excessive wear or damage. Check the ball joints 11 and suspensions, paying attention to the existing gaps and the condition of the rubber casings for signs of cracks and damage. If necessary, these parts are replaced with new ones. Check metal-rubber bushings 16 and 23, transverse 13 and stabilizer mounts 5 and 21, whether they are knocked out. If necessary, replace them with new ones. Check for signs of fluid leakage from the shock absorbers and signs of corrosion on the attachments of the suspension elements to the subframe and body.
