Checking Riding Height: Notes

NOTE: Riding height may also be referred to as vehicle level.

On this vehicle chassis an electronic inclination measuring instrument (CM-9606) must be used to measure front and rear vehicle level (riding height). See Fig 1 and Figure . It is necessary to check vehicle riding height using a servicing pit or alignment rack. Vehicle weight must be on wheels. See instrument manufacturer for tool usage.

NOTE: The measuring plate (086b) is magnetic, information on data media, e.g. floppy disks, credit cards, etc, could be rendered unusable.
NOTE: The suspension component control arm may also be referred to as wishbone (upper or lower wishbone).
