Riding Height

NOTE: Proper riding height is necessary for correct wheel alignment. Before measuring riding height, ensure tire inflation pressure is correct, cargo compartment is empty, and fuel tank is full.

Bounce vehicle several times to normalize suspension. Measure riding height. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 . If riding height is not as specified, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. See the RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table. If riding height is okay, align wheels. See the WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article.
