Front and Rear Curb Height






Vehicle front and rear curb height is the difference in height between the outer end of front and rear lower control arms and the frame of the vehicle. The measurement is to be taken from the design height fixture to the vehicle's frame, to determine the height of a fully wet (full tank of fuel and all correct fluid levels) vehicle. This measurement will determine if something in the vehicle's suspension is causing a vehicle to sit statically high or low. The curb height measurement is taken at the center in the front of the vehicle, and at each frame rail in the rear. All service alignment adjustments done, MUST be made with the vehicle set to its required curb height specification.
