Wheel Arch Height

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Set the vehicle on a level surface.
Set the vehicle to "curb weight" conditions. (Empty luggage compartment, install spare tire, jack, service tools, and top up fuel tank.)
Set the steering wheel in a straight line, then remove the vehicle straight ahead more than 5 m (16 ft) to settle the suspension.
Suspend the thread from wheel arch (point "A" in figure below) to determine a point directly above center of wheel.
Measure the distance between measuring point "A" and center of wheel.
