Alignment: Specifications
Ride Height

Vehicle transverse inclination "Zero position" 

If the measured values exceed tolerances, the cause may be an incorrect vehicle attitude.
Example: vehicles with an automatic transmission can lean to one side slightly.
This is due to the installation position of the assemblies and their associated weight transfer and is normal.

-

If vehicle leans to one side, measure dimension "a" on left and righthand sides.

-

Correct differences if necessary.
^

On front axle, compensate by adding weight to top of relevant strut tower.

^

On rear axle, compensate by adding weight to relevant side of luggage compartment.

^

Sand filled bags weighting approx. 10 kg (22 lbs.) are suitable for this.
