Vehicle Design Height

Vehicle design height is the height specification vehicle was at, when vehicles original front and rear alignment was done at the vehicle assembly plant. This is also the height specification vehicle was at when all suspension components were originally tightened and torqued to required specifications. It is also the height specification vehicle MUST be at when tightening and torquing fasteners for the vehicles suspension components which are mounted, using rubber isolator bushings. This is required for all vehicle suspension components except the front and rear lower control arm cam bolts and nuts. Vehicle design height is determined by correctly installing the front and rear design height fixtures and then ballasting or jacking the vehicle until the required vehicle is obtained using the vehicle height fixture special tools.
