-
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.
