1. Place hands on the rear bumper and jounce the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that there is at least 38 mm (1.5 in) of movement while jouncing.
2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.
Important: A D-height block can be used to determine the D-height position. Create a D-height measurement gage, using metal stock. Cut
a block to 20 mm (0.79 in) X 30 mm (1.81 in) X the correct D trim height specification. For the correct D height specification, refer to
Trim Height Specifications.
3. Measure the D height by measuring vertical distance (2) between the top surface of the axle and to the side of the hole, center on the jounce
bumper reinforcement bracket.
4. Repeat the jouncing operation and measurement 2 more times for a total of 3 times.
5. Use the highest and lowest measurements to calculate the average height.
6. The true D height dimension is the average of the highest and lowest measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications.
7. If these measurements are out of specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^
Sagging rear suspension-Refer to Coil Spring Replacement or Air Spring Replacement.
