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 and Fig 2 . If riding height is not as specified, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS  table. If riding height is okay, align wheels. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES  .
