Suspension calibration - tool ?

Is there a simple/cheap tool I can buy to set the suspension heights on my 2005 TD6 Vogue ? I understand that functionality is included on the IID Bluetooth tool, but I already shelled out on a decent diagnostic tool earlier in the year to cover my other cars, and that will read and clear everything for the RRFF, but just won't alter the suspension heights.

Also, is it best to check and adjust the suspension heights, then get 4 wheel alignment done ?

That won't work will or Stan?

It's only to raise and lower if you get stuck somewhere if I remember correctly

That looks perfect !

One height sensor was replaced before I bought it, nothing to say it was recalibrated. Another is reading 32v when stationary, whist the others are 1.2v/1.3v so I assume I will have some suspension joy to come and might as well be prepared.

My bad, when I emailed them I was told I had to buy the more expensive one for calibration! You learn something new every day!

You can do it for the price of two metal coat hangers... I did it when I first got mine to raise it a bit, remove the plastic arms that clip onto the height sensors and replace them with metal ones, just a rod with a loop at each end, you can adjust the length to get the FF spot on at whatever height you like......

In fact mine are still on there as they are much stronger than the plastic and rubber arms, although i use the IID to do the work now... Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Pete
