Ride Height Adjustment: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 60 other vehicles, including the 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, 1999 Pontiac Firefly, and 1999 Pontiac Firebird. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Proper ride height is necessary for correct wheel alignment. Check ride height with vehicle on level floor. Ensure less than 15.5 lbs. of weight is in trunk (other than spare and tools), fuel tank is full (unless specified otherwise), fronts seats are in full rearward position and tires are the correct size and properly inflated. Tire inflation specification can be found on door pillar, sidewall of tire, sun visor or in glove box. On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, ensure all systems are functional before adjusting ride height or wheel alignment.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear or side to side. If ride height is not within specification, check, repair or replace suspension components.
