Front and rear heights

[dreamerman]

Someone suggested that the front of my NX sits lower than the front from the factory. I measured on level ground all sides from the center of the wheel to the guard and looks to me they are all the same distance. There is nothing hitched on my tow bar and no additional weight in the rear (save for 3 umbrellas). So either the suggestion is incorrect of my measurement is wrong. Your thoughts?

Post your measurements, and someone here (probably OJ) will tell you what the official factory numbers are.

Edit: thanks to the magic of Google:

Factory ride heights are 500-505mm on the front and 530-535mm on the rear.

5mm is the difference in height between front and rear for my NX. Measurement taken like in pic.

And the measurements are.............

so what are the measurements?

Rear should be 30mm more than front. So something is wrong, but if your front is low then your rear is even lower.

What are the actual measurements? All four of them?

And the measurements are.............

Sorry I was not interested in the measurement, only the difference in height. Will post if I take measurements next time. My garage is not level so have to do it elsewhere.

Mine measures 500mm from center of wheel to the guard on front and 505mm from center of wheel to guard rear. I have TJM bullbar and second 100A battery in front, AGM battery and drawers plus 60L fridge in rear. Not changed suspension as yet. Hope this helps

My Nw is 530mm at front and 550 at rear. Rear has about 130kg sitting inside it at the moment.

My NX has 53.5 at the front with KCFR34HHD with a smartbar and bashplates.
And 54.5 at the back with KCRR35 with half a cargo barrier and towbar.
With the airbags at 60psi at the back, the back goes up to 57cm (when empty)

Mine was at 470-475 front 500 back on factory suspension with front bull bar, winch, 4mm front bash plates and rear 60L fridge + 110Ah battery.

Now needs remeasuring due to suspension upgrades and other changes..

Minimum legal ride height for a NX is 461mm front and 488mm rear, this is specified in the RVCS data.

I’ve noticed our new NX appears ‘lop-sided’ when sitting on the level concrete in the garage. I measured it at the rear only and the measurements from the concrete to the top tangent point of the wheel arch, measured through the centre of the wheel were 877 passenger side and 865 drivers side. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m thinking I’ll be asking for MM to investigate at the 1,500 service and rectify.

I do have an additional 60’ish kg of weight on that side in a 140Ah battery and dometic CFF45 fridge but I had a 120Ah battery and Engel MT45 on one side in our prado for 8 years and it still sits dead level.

Hi.
This has cropped up and been discussed a number of times in relation to Gen 4s.
Have a read of the following example ...

Roadblock dont measure from concrete or floor to top of wheel arch do it from centre of wheel to wheel arch. Reason.........it takes the tyre out of the equation which if they have differing pressures could alter the measurement.
