Ride Height Adjustment

Before adjusting alignment, check ride height. Check ride height with vehicle on level surface 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. Remove extra heavy items from passenger and luggage compartments.

Ride height of vehicle should vary less than .200" (5 mm) between left and right side. If ride height is not as specified, check, repair or replace suspension components. See appropriate FRONT or REAR article in SUSPENSION.
