Riding Height Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Honda Prelude, 2001 Honda Odyssey, 2001 Honda Civic, 2001 Honda CR-V, and 2001 Honda Accord. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Check riding height with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Ensure passenger and luggage compartments are unloaded. Bounce vehicle several times, and allow suspension to settle. Visually inspect vehicle from front to rear and from side to side for signs of abnormal height.

Measure riding height. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 . Riding height between left and right sides of vehicle should vary less than 1" (25.4 mm). If riding height is not within specification, check suspension components and repair or replace them as necessary.
