Front Axle Ride Height

NOTE: Vehicle must be on standing with full weight on wheels.

Standing height and vehicle longitudinal tilt influence alignment test values. Standing height and vehicle longitudinal tilt must be measured or standing height must be adjusted before checking/adjusting wheel alignment.

Ride height dimension is measured from upper shock absorber mount bolt head to center of lower shock absorber bolt. See Fig 1 . If necessary, adjust to prescribed height by turning nut on torsion bar tensioning lever. For standing height specification, see WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  .
