G6 V6-3.9L (2009)
The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle. There is no adjustment procedure. Repair may
require replacement of suspension components.
Use the following procedure to check the Z height dimension:
1. Using your hands, lift the front bumper approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).
2. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle.
3. Repeat the jouncing operation a total of 3 times.
4. You will need 2 measurements to compute the Z height. Measurement 1 should be taken from the bottom edge of the support flange (X) to the
ground line. Measurement 2 should be taken from the bottom edge of the lowest point of the ball stud (Y) to the ground line. Subtract
measurement 2 (Y) from measurement 1 (X). This will give you your Z height dimension.
5. Using your hands, jounce the front of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).
6. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle.
7. Repeat the jouncing operation a total of 3 times.
8. Measure the Z height dimension.
9. The true Z height dimension number is the average of the high and the low measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications (See:
Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Suspension/System Specifications/Trim Height Specifications).
