Rear Wheel Drive Models

  1. Measurement points must be clear of dirt or foreign materials. With vehicle at curb weight and positioned on level floor, bounce vehicle several times and release it on downward motion. Let vehicle settle to normal height.
  2. On Gran Fury, Newport, New Yorker and St. Regis models, measure riding height from bottom of frame rail between yoke and front isolator to floor. On other models, measure from front insulator bolt head to floor.
  3. Height should be within 1/4" of specifications and side-to-side difference should be within 1/4". To adjust, turn torsion bar adjusting bolt clockwise to increase height and counterclockwise to decrease height. After adjustment is completed, bounce vehicle and recheck both sides.
