Riding Height Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, 2004 Chrysler 300M, 2003 Dodge Intrepid, and 2003 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Before performing wheel alignment, perform preliminary visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS in WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY & OPERATION article in under STEERING in GENERAL INFORMATION.

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Measure height from inboard edge of fenderwell directly above center of wheel, unless specified otherwise. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor, correct size tires properly inflated and fuel tank full. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear and side to side. Check passenger and luggage compartments for extra-heavy items, and remove if present. Riding height between left side and right side of vehicle should vary less than 0.79" (20 mm). Information on riding height difference between front and rear is not available from manufacturer. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table. If riding height is not within specification, check, repair or replace suspension components.
