Ride Height Measurement - Front
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat,
level surface and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel.
-
-
Ride height = 3-2
-
Measure the distance between the flat level
surface and the end cap of the lower arm ball joint (measurement 2)
-
Measure the distance between the flat level
surface and the center of the lower arm forward bolt (measurement 3)
Use the General Equipment: Surface Gauge
-
With the surface gauge positioned on a flat, level
surface, record the measurement of the surface gauge position
(measurement 2) and (measurement 3).
Use the General Equipment: Surface Gauge
-
Subtract measurement 2 from measurement 3 to obtain the front ride height.
Rear Ride Height Measurement - FWD
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat,
level surface and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel.

-
Ride height = 3-2
-
Measurement 2
-
Measurement 3
Use the General Equipment: Surface Gauge
-
Measure the distance between the flat level surface
and the center of the rear beam axle bushing bolt (inner part)
(measurement 3).
-
Measure the distance between the flat level surface and the side arm profile lower edge (measurement 2).
-
Subtract measurement 2 from measurement 3 to obtain the rear ride height.

NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat,
level surface and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.

and the center of the rearward lower arm-to-frame bolt (measurement 3).
-
Measure the distance between the flat level surface
and the end cap of the rear lower arm ball joint (measurement 2).
-
Subtract measurement 2 from measurement 3 to obtain the rear ride height.
