Riding Height Adjustment: Notes
CAUTION:
On vehicles with air springs, pull fuse of air supply system so there is no regulation.
NOTE:
On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, all systems should be functional before attempting riding height or wheel alignment adjustment.
Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Load front seats with 150 lbs. (68 kg) each. Load 31 lbs. (14 kg) in center of trunk and fill fuel tank.
Measure actual ride-level height from wheel-house lower edge to rim flange at height of wheel center. Determine average value of each wheel after lifting and lowering vehicle body and then average value of axle from these values. Ride height measurement must be within .04" (10 mm) of each side. For specifications, see RIDE HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS . If ride height is not correct, see FRONT article.
