- Check the tyre pressures.
- Parking brake released.
- Manually set the height to the «NORMAL DRIVING» position.
- Engine running
NOTE : After each body movement, and before each measurement :
- Move the vehicle backwards and forwards slightly by pushing the road
wheel by hand.
General conditions required for adjustment
Front height
Rear height
H1 = R1 - L1
H2 = R2 - L2
H1 = Front height
All Types (+ 7 - 10 mm)
SC CAR (
± 3.5 mm)
R1 = Wheel radius in mm.
L1 = Theoretical dimension between
the front subframe contact surface and
the wheel axis.
H1 = Rear height
All Types (+ 7 - 10 mm)
SC CAR (
± 3.5 mm)
R2 = Wheel radius in mm.
L2 = Theoretical dimension between
the bearing surface of the bodyshell
and the wheel axis.
Example : front height
- Measure dimension R1 (centre of the wheel) on the vehicle.
- Subtract L1 from R1 (See the table on page 214) and calculate H1.
- Measure H1 on the vehicle.
- The measured dimension H1 should be the same as the calculated dimension H1
(+ 7 - 10 mm).
- Adjust the heights if necessary.
