RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

  1. Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor, gas tank full, wheels straight ahead and tires properly inflated. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.
  2. 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 riding height is not within specifications listed, check, repair or replace suspension components.
  3. Measure front and rear riding height from horizontal center line of wheel axle shaft to bottom line of body/fender wheel opening (directly above vertical center line of axle shaft). Adjust to specifications. See «RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-54109-S32052192732001100400000) table.
