Front Axle Height Measurement
The C height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of suspension components. The B height dimension measurement determines if the front axle is bent. Check the suspension and steering components for any binding conditions.
