Wheel Arch Height

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Subaru Outback and 2006 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Set the vehicle under "curb weight" condition. (Make the luggage compartment empty, install the spare tire, jack and service tools, and top up the fuel tank.)
  3. Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position, and stabilize the suspensions by moving the vehicle straight more than 5 m (16 ft).
  4. Suspend a thread from wheel arch (point "A" shown in Fig 1 ) to determine the point directly above the center of wheel.
  5. Measure the distance between the point "A" and the center of wheel.
