Riding Height Adjustment

NOTE: On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, all systems should be functional before attempting riding height or wheel alignment adjustment.

Before adjusting alignment, ensure difference in riding height between left and right sides of vehicle is less than 1" (25.4 mm). 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 difference in riding height between left and right sides of vehicle is NOT less than 1" (25.4 mm), check suspension components and repair or replace as necessary.
