Procedure: As always, never get under the car when undertaking any work on the suspension

system unless it is fully supported - especially so when adjusting height correctors (danger of
crushing).

NOTE: You can make all the measurements quite

accurately without the need of the tools below.
1 Tools

A Diagnostic Tool (Diagbox)

2 Preliminary operations

• Verify the tyre pressure.

• Place the vehicle on a 4-post lift.
• Slacken the parking brake .
• Position the body height at the high position.
• Position the body height at the normal position (driving height).
• Switch on the ignition.
• Raise the vehicle.

Identification: Measuring zones - Vehicle heights at setting height

Wheel radiuses R:

• R1: Front wheel radius (L.H. side)

• R1': Front wheel radius (right)
• R2: Rear wheel radius (L.H. side)
• R2: Rear wheel radius (right)

Heights H:

• H1: Height between the measuring zone under the front LH subframe and the ground
• H1': Height between the measuring zone under the front RH subframe and the ground
• H2: Height between the measuring zone under the rear LH axle crossmember and the
ground
• H2: Height between the measuring zone under the rear RH axle crossmember and the
ground

Heights K:

• K1: Height between the wheel centre line and the measuring zone under the subframe
(left hand front)
• K1': Height between the wheel centre line and the measuring zone under the subframe
(Front RH)
• K2: Height between the wheel centre line and the measuring zone under the axle
crossmember (rear left hand side)
• K2': Height between the wheel centre line and the measuring zone under the axle
crossmember (Rear right hand side)
"Z1" : Measuring zone under the front subframe.
"Z2" : Measuring zone under the rear axle crossmember.

3.1 Check: Front height

Measure:

• The wheel radiuses R1 and R1 ; Using the tools [U701-0], [9801-T]

• The heights H1 and H1’ ; Using tool [U701-0]
Calculate:

• The height K = R1 - H1
• The height K1' = R1' - H1'

Calculate the average of the heights K1 and K1' : (K1 + K1') / 2.

Compare this calculated height with the reference height.

N.B.: Reference height (front) : 160 ± 6 mm.

Pre-adjust the front height if (K1 + K1')/2 is greater than 190 mm or less than 130 mm (Section
4).

3.2 Check: Rear height

Measure:

• The radiuses R2 and R2’ ; Using the tools [U701-0], [9801-T]

• The heights H2 and H2’ ; Using tool [U701-0]

Calculate:

• The height K2 = R2 - H2
• The height K2' = R2' - H2'

Calculate the average of the heights K2 and K2' : (K2 + K2') / 2.

Compare this calculated height with the reference height.
N.B. : Reference height (rear) : 106 ± 6 mm.
Pre-adjust the rear height if (K2 + K2')/2 is greater than 140 mm or less than 80 mm (Section 4)

4 Pre-setting the heights

4.1. Pre-adjusting the front height

Slacken the fixing bolt (2).

Slightly rotate the collar (1) on the anti-roll bar.
Wait for the correction of the vehicle’s height.
Re-tighten : The securing bolt (2) ; Tighten to 0,6 daN.m.
Do a new check of the front height :

• If (K1 + K1')/2 is greater than 190 mm

 • If (K1 + K1')/2 is less than 130 mm

4.2. Pre-adjusting the rear height

Slacken the fixing bolt (4).

Slightly rotate the collar (3) on the anti-roll bar.
Wait for the correction of the vehicle’s height.
Re-tighten: The securing bolt (4) ; Tighten to 0,6 daN.m.
Do a new check of the rear height:

• If (K2 + K2')/2 is greater than 140 mm

• If (K2 + K2')/ 2 is less than 80 mm

5. Adjusting the heights; Using the diagnostic equipment

Connect the diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.
Carry out an global test.
Select the corresponding "suspension" menu.
Select: "SUSPENSION".
Select: "Adjustment of the vehicle reference heights".
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Calculate:

• 320 - (K1 + K1')/2 (for the front)

• 212 - (K2 + K2')/2 (for the rear)

Enter these values into the diagnostic tool.

Wait for the correction of the vehicle’s height.
Check the reference heights.
