Ride Height
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Measure the LH and RH front ride height by taking the difference between the lowest point on the wheel knuckle (A) and bolt center of the rearward lower control arm bushing (B).
If there is a ride height concern, such as the front or rear of the vehicle being higher or lower than normal or an apparent lean, it should be corrected before aligning the vehicle. Any heavy items such as toolboxes, sample cases or any other items should be removed.
If no unusual load is present, check for damaged components or nonstandard replacement suspension components.
To measure ride height, the vehicle must be in a level, static ground position with full fluids and the fuel tank at least 1/2 full.
