A:
You need to lift the front bumper of the vehicle about 38 mm (1.5 inches), gently remove your hands, let the vehicle settle and repeat this operation for a total of 3 times, measure from the pivot bolt center line down to the lower corner of the lower ball joint to obtain the Z height measurement, push the front bumper of the vehicle down about 38 mm (1.5 inches), gently remove your hands, allow the vehicle to settle into position, repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times, and measure the Z dimension. The true Z height dimension number is the average of the high and the low measurements.

01/11/2022Q: What should you do before measuring the trim heights?
A:
You need to set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label, check the fuel level, add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank, make sure the rear compartment is empty except for the spare tire, make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and close the doors and the hood. All dimensions are measured vertically to the ground. Trim heights should be within 13 mm (0.5 inches) to be considered correct.
