11. If the P and R heights are outside of specifications, measure the Z and D heights.
Measuring the Z Height
Note:
*
In order to obtain the proper measurement, Z will equal inner minus the outer.
*
The left and right Z height difference should be no more than 12 mm (0.47 in).
Use the following procedure to measure the Z height:
1. Lift the front bumper of the vehicle up about 38 mm (1.5 in).
2. Gently remove your hands and let the vehicle settle.
