A measurement between the ground and some fixed reference point on a car's body (the reference point varies according to the whims of the particular automaker). This dimension can be used to measure the amount of suspension deflection or the height of the body from the ground.
It is a measurement between some fixed reference point on a car's body which varies with the vehicles and the ground. This dimension can be used to measure the deflection of suspension or the height of the body from the ground.
The distance from the bottom of the chassis to the ground when a car is at speed. Indy Racing League rules stipulate that the ride height of the sides of a car should be 2 inches off the ground for all tracks.
The ride height is the distance from the bottom of the chassis to the ground when the car is at full speed. This is regulated at a distance of two inches off the ground.
The distance between the car's frame rails and the ground.
Synonymous with ground clearance, the ride height can be taken as the size of the gap between a vehicle underside and the ground.
The distance from a specific point on a vehicle to level ground. The actual measurement should be equal to vehicle specifications before correcting alignment.
The height of the car floor, above the ground, measured from the wheels.
The height between the track's surface and the floor of the car.
This refers to the height of the chassis above the ground. Because of the relationship between the height of the ground effect tunnels and their performance, maintaining optimum ride height is an important feature of car setup and design. However, it is hard to manage since the faster a car goes, the more the aerodynamic effects press it to the ground. Many very complex methods are used to maintain a consistent ride height.
The distance between a specified point on the chassis, suspension or body and the ground. Measuring ride height is an indirect method of determining spring height, which is important because it affects camber, caster and toe. Low ride height indicates wea
The distance between the bottom of the car and the ground is called the ride height, this is controlled in the regulations by the use of the ‘plank'.
Ride height (ground clearance or simply clearance) is the amount of space between the base of an automobile tire and the underside of the chassis; or, more properly, to the shortest distance between a flat, level surface, and any part of a vehicle other than those parts designed to contact the ground (such as tires, tracks, skis, etc.). Ground clearance is measured with standard vehicle equipment, and for cars, is usually given with no cargo or passengers.
