Procedures should include inspection of the following:

- Suspension system (i.e., control arms, ball joints, steering knuckles, hubs, suspension springs, and shock absorbers)
- Steering system (i.e., rack and pinion, steering shaft, pitman arm, idler arm, inner and outer tie-rod ends, center link, and steering stabilizers)
- Powertrain components (i.e., engine components and mounts, transmission components and mounts, and drive axles)

Process/Skill Questions:

- Which parts or components can cause vibration?
- Which parts or components can cause alignment issues?
- Which parts can be realigned?
