Note. On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, all systems should be functional before attempting ride height or wheel alignment adjustment.
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. Remove any extra heavy items from passenger and luggage compartments. If riding height is not within specification, check, repair or replace suspension components. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table.
