Wheel Arch Height

  1. Set the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Set the vehicle to "curb weight" conditions. (Empty luggage compartment, install spare tire, jack, service tools, and top up fuel tank.)
  3. Set the steering wheel in a straight line, then remove the vehicle straight ahead more than 5 m (16 ft) to settle the suspension.
  4. Suspend the thread from wheel arch (point "A" in figure below) to determine a point directly above center of wheel.
  5. Measure the distance between measuring point "A" and center of wheel.
