Riding Height Adjustment
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon, 1990 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990 Volkswagen Golf, 1990 Volkswagen GTI, and 1990 Volkswagen Fox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.
Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear or side to side. Check passenger and luggage compartments for extra heavy items and remove if present. If riding height is not within specifications listed, check, repair or replace suspension components.
NOTE:
Ride height between left and right side of vehicle should vary less than 1" (25.4 mm).
