RIDING HEIGHT
Note. On vehicles equipped with electronic suspension, see appropriate ELECTRONIC article in SUSPENSION.
| CAUTION | Use hand tools to adjust riding height. DO NOT use power tools. |
Except Pickup (F250/F350 Super Duty) & Econoline
Adjust riding height by turning torsion bar adjustment bolt. Tighten torsion bar adjusting bolt to raise height. Loosen torsion bar adjusting bolt to lower height. On rear of vehicle, repair or replace worn or damaged components.
Pickup (F250/F350 Super Duty) & Econoline
Rear side lean can be adjusted .38" (10 mm) by installing shim D7TZ-5742-A on low side, or both sides if rear is low. Raise and support vehicle so weight is off springs and tires are still touching ground. Loosen 4 U-bolt nuts. Separate spring from axle. Install shim with recess facing upward in between spring and spring seat. Tighten 4 U-bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor, tires properly inflated and fuel tanks full. 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 compartment or vehicle bed for extra heavy items and remove if present.
On Econoline and Villager, ride height is measured from front (dimension "A") and rear (dimension "B") fender lip openings to ground. (Scheme 1) On Expedition and Navigator models, rear ride height is measured between rear suspension travel stop bracket and top of axle housing. Ride height should be within specifications. See RIDE HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS (ECONOLINE, EXPEDITION, NAVIGATOR & VILLAGER) table. If ride height is not as specified, check, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. On Econoline, rear side lean can be adjusted by installing shim. See ADJUSTMENT.
