Measuring Height Of Front And Rear Axle

Information 

• The vehicle height at front and rear axle cannot be adjusted.
• For the height check, put the vehicle on a level surface or on the measuring platform (ready to drive with full fuel tank and cook but without driver or additional weights).
• Compress (push down) vehicle at front and rear axles twice or three times and allow it to spring back freely.
• Measure from road contact surface to measuring point on the body.
• A quick check can be performed by measuring from the lower edge of the wing to the center of the wheel.

For vehicles with front axle lift system:  Lower the vehicle using the button on the dashboard.

Front-axle height:  Measure from road contact surface to the measuring point -1-  on the cross member of the body.
