Checking & calibrating ride height.

Grrrrrr · Sep 30, 2012

Hi all,

Just put new air-springs and she seems to be running nicely. However, a thought occurs to me: how high off the ground should the car be on standard ride height and extended ride height measured from the ground to the top of the wheel arch?

Assuming it is out, how would you go about recalibrating it on a '95 DT? Or would this mean the height sensors stuffed?

Cheers,

J

New airsprings will not change ride height. Look in the "How to" at top of page.

You measure from the wheel centre to the wheel arch, not the ground. Make sure the tyre pressures are correct before you start

As Above Measure from Centre of Wheel Arch to Wheel Hub Centre...

Measurements are:

Access 405mm
M/Way 445mm
Standard 470mm
High 510mm

OK. Cool. Bit dark now but I'll get my measuring tape out during the week if I'm back an evening before dark.

And make sure you do it on level ground car parks are good

Get a piece of wood and mark the wheel centre and the heights, easier than frigging around with a tape.
