H1 = R1 – L1
H1 = Front height (± 6 mm).
R1 = Wheel radius (mm).
L1 = Theoretical dimension between the level of the front subframe and
the wheel axis.
The measurement of the front dimension «H1» is between ground level
and the measuring zone on the front subframe (to the rear of the front
yokes fixing the suspension arm).
L1 = 155 mm
The dimension L1 for checking front height is between the level “b” of
the front subframe and the wheel axis “a”.
H2 = R2 + L2
H2 = Rear height (± 6 mm).
R2 = Wheel radius (mm).
L2 = Theoretical dimension between the measuring zone on the crossmember
support and the wheel axis.
The measurement of the rear dimension «H2» is between ground level
and the measuring zone on the rear axle crossmember (forward of the
rear fixing of the rear axle crossmember on the body).
L2 = 64 mm
The dimension L2 for checking rear height is between the measuring
zone “b” and the wheel axis “a”.
