    NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat, level surface and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. The vehicle should have a full tank of fuel.
  1. Measure the distance between the flat level surface and the center of the lower control arm-to-subframe bolt (measurement 2).
  2. Measure the distance between the same flat level surface and the center of the lower arm-to-knuckle bolt (measurement 3).
  3. Subtract measurement 3 from measurement 2 to obtain the rear ride height.
