Suspension Height

Examine the vehicle for indications of abnormal attitude, such as the front or rear end being higher or lower than normal. Any heavy items in luggage or passenger compartments should be removed before checking wheel alignment.

If vehicle altitude is not normal and no unusual load is present, check for signs of damage or nonstandard replacement suspension parts.
