Riding Height

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear or side to side. Check passenger and luggage compartments for extra heavy items and remove if present.

NOTE: Ride height between left and right side of vehicle should vary less than .4" (10 mm).
NOTE: Riding height specifications are not available.
