Riding Height Adjustment
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 the GENERAL INFORMATION section.
Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Passenger and luggage compartments must be unloaded. Bounce vehicle several times, and allow suspension to settle. Visually inspect vehicle from front to rear and from side to side for signs of abnormal height.
Measure riding height. See Fig 1. Riding height between left and right sides of vehicle should vary less than one inch (25.4 mm). If riding height is not within specification, check suspension components and repair or replace them as necessary.
