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.

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.
