test the vehicle first.

and correct any defects which are found.

1.

Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven
wear.

2.

Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect front and
rear suspension and steering linkage for loose
or damaged parts.

Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round
tires, out-of-balance tires, loose and/or rough
