Riding Height Adjustment

NOTE: On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, all systems should be functional before attempting ride height or wheel alignment adjustment.

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear or side to side. Check passenger and luggage compartments for extra heavy items and remove if present. If riding height is not within specifications listed, suspension should be checked and repaired before alignment is adjusted.

NOTE: For vehicles not listed, ride height between front and rear of vehicle should vary less than 1" (25.4 mm).
