Trim Height Measurements
Important: Check the vehicle trim heights when diagnosing suspension concerns and before checking wheel alignment.
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights can cause bottoming out over bumps, damage to the
suspension components and symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems.
Trim Height Measurement Preliminary Procedure
Perform the following before measuring the trim heights:
1. Set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. Refer to Label - Vehicle Certification, Tire Place Card, Anti-Theft and
Service Parts ID.
2. Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank. If additional weight is added, distribute the weight at the rear of the
seat cushions or the front of the rear compartment.
3. Make sure the rear compartment is empty of cargo.
4. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
5. Close the doors.
6. Close the hood.
7. Secure the convertible top or removable roof panel, if equipped, in the fully closed position.
8. All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Z and D trim heights should be within 6.4 mm (0.25 in) of nominal to be considered correct.
Z Height Measurement
Important: The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle.
1. Lift the front bumper of the vehicle up about 38 mm (1.5 in) then allow the vehicle to settle.
2. Repeat this operation 2 more times for a total of 3 times.
