5. Move vehicle seven to ten feet back and forth so it settles down.
6. Measure distance ``A'' between center of one front wheel and lower end of fender molding. Fig. 50. Measure other wheel and determine difference between both measurements.
7. Compare measured distances with specifications below:
a. Distance ``A'' is 14.76-15.55 inches.
b. Difference between each wheel measurement is 0.39 inch or less.
8. If either distance is outside of specifications, loosen bolts on affected vehicle height sensor and rotate height sensor to adjust vehicle height.
