Riding Height Check

WARNING: Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting ANY repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
NOTE: Prior to 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 GENERAL INFORMATION.

Before adjusting alignment, check vehicle riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Refer to identification label located in driver's door jamb for proper tire size and inflation pressure. 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. Remove heavy items from passenger and luggage compartments. If riding height is not within specifications or is significantly different from side-to-side, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS  table.
