Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that the default suspension height seems lower than before. The suspension is functioning properly and adjusts height at each level. Could someone measure the distance between the upper wheel well and the tire? I can fit a can(on the side) of soda in between with little space left.

Picture attached. At default level. The wheel is 22”.



Thank you very much. I need to know this for my sanity.

i have 22s. have this documented since i just went through a leaking shock that would sink the whole car when left long enough.

on level ground: drivers side ground to top of wheel arch, ~33.25" drivers side, ~33.0" passengers side, from ground to top of wheel arch centered on the hub. this is normal driving level, comfort mode.

thank you! I will measure it once I get a chance

Just measured, mine is actually ~34.5inch

I wonder if the auto-leveling feature of the suspension could be making a difference here? I have occasionally noticed when parked on non-level pavement that the front/rear wheel wells have different gaps.

what sized tires are on there- theres no michelin in the stock sizes aside from the costco only pilot sport 4 suv zp. and that doesnt look like the tread of the PS4.
if those are 285/45/22, they will be taller than stock

Sorry for not mentioning earlier. I run 22inch wheels square setup. Those are PS4 tires

i think those are AS4s not PS4s. if you are running 285/45/22, the ride height will be slightly higher, by about half an inch.

your ride heights look right, mine is a little lower, but the dealer had just calibrated the ride height as part of the faulty air suspension work ( they replaced the air supply system and one shock)

The correct way to measure is from the center of the wheel hub to the lip of the fender. That takes any variance in tire size/profile out of the equation.
