Riding Height Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Land Rover Range Rover, 2000 Land Rover Discovery, 1999 Land Rover Range Rover, and 1999 Land Rover Discovery. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Prior to performing wheel alignment, perform preliminary visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS in WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY & OPERATION article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

Before adjusting alignment, check vehicle riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Refer to identification label located in driver's door jamb for proper tire size and inflation pressure. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front-to-rear and side-to-side. Remove heavy items from passenger and luggage compartments. If riding height is not within specifications or is significantly different from side-to-side, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table.
