Suspension: Adjustments

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
^ Use a hoist with frictionless plates to support the front wheels.
^ Normalize the vehicle static ride height.





2. Measure the front suspension from the center line on the nut side of the front bolt on the front suspension lower arm to the ground and record.





3. Measure the front suspension from the bottom of the front wheel knuckle to the ground and record.

NOTE: The ride height specification for vehicles with new suspension components is higher than the specification for vehicles using original suspension components to allow for new component settling.





4. If setting ride height using original suspension components, subtract the measurements between step 3 and step 2 for the ride height.





5. If setting ride height for new suspension components, subtract the measurements between step 3 and step 2 for ride height.
6. Adjust the ride height.
(1) Inspect the ride height on both sides after each adjustment.

NOTE: The ride height measurement on the opposite side from the adjustment may change.

7. Lower the vehicle.
