Riding Height Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2000 Honda Prelude, 2000 Honda Odyssey, 2000 Honda Civic, 2000 Honda CR-V, and 2000 Honda Accord. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 or Fig 2 . Riding height between left and right sides of vehicle should vary less than 1" (25.4 mm). If riding height is not within specification, check suspension components and repair or replace them as necessary.
