Checking Riding Height: Notes

NOTE: Vehicle riding height and vehicle level may be considered the same measurement. Depending on chassis number these measurements may vary in procedure: mechanical gauges for riding height versus electronic measuring instruments for vehicle level.
NOTE: During procedures number(s) and letter(s) in parentheses correspond to number(s) and letter(s) inside the illustration(s). The word arrow(s) in parentheses is used to point out specific components or movement.

On this vehicle chassis an electronic inclination measuring instrument (CM-9606) must be used to measure front and rear vehicle level (ride 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.
