Ride Height

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 35 other vehicles, including the 1992 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1992 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1992 GMC Yukon, and 1992 GMC Vandura Special. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Proper ride height is necessary for correct wheel alignment. Ensure tires are correctly inflated, cargo compartment is empty and fuel tank is full. Bounce vehicle several times to normalize ride height.
  2. Most vehicles provide front wheel alignment specifications which allow camber and caster adjustment for a large range of ride heights. See RIDE HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS  table. Ride height measurement points are shown in illustrations. See Figure-15.
