Axle height for trucks refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the center of the axle. This measurement is crucial for understanding the vehicle's clearance, stability, and load distribution. Proper axle height can affect the truck's performance, handling, and ability to navigate various terrains. It is also important for compliance with regulations regarding vehicle dimensions.
Axle height refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the center of an axle, typically in vehicles. It is an important measurement for determining a vehicle's ground clearance and overall stability. Higher axle heights can improve off-road capability, while lower heights may enhance aerodynamics and handling on paved surfaces. This measurement is crucial for vehicle design, suspension setup, and performance considerations.
To measure the ride height on the front steers of a 2004 Freightliner Coronado, you should first ensure the truck is on a level surface and the suspension is unloaded. Measure from the center of the axle to the bottom of the frame rail directly above the axle. For the 2004 Freightliner Coronado, the typical ride height for the front steer axle is approximately 7.5 to 8 inches, but it's best to consult the specific owner's manual or manufacturer specifications for precise measurements.

Air suspension height sensor is under car, between the rear axle and the underside of the body.
#1 axle is the steer axle, #2 axle is the front drive axle, #3 axle is the rear drive axle.
The height sensor is attached to the body above the center of the rear axle. It is connected to the track bar viaa link that moves the arm on the height sensorup (when the bodylowers due to load) and down (when the body raises due to removal of a load).
a " conventional " or " regular " axle - an axle that is not a limited slip axle
No. A tri-axle has one additional lift axle; a quad axle has two lift axles.
From the bottom of the frame, to the center of the axle housing, it is suppose to be 8¾" without a trailer. With the trailer, the measurement should be 8½"
You need to get the weight on the front and rear axles, add them together to get the total weight. Divide each axle by the total to percentage on each axle. Measure the distance from center to center of axle. Times the distance by the percentage, and that is the distance the center of gravity is from the other axle. An example: A car weighing 3500lbs has a weight distribution of 60% front/40 %rear and has a wheel base of 100inches. The car has 2100lbs on the front axle(.60 x 3500lbs), the center of gravity is 60inches from the rear axle(.60 x 100). The height of the center of gravity is a lot more complex to find.
The sensor that tells the system if the air suspension is too high or low is located behind and above the axle and in front of the fuel tank. It is about the size of a ball point pen. It is attached to the car body and to a bar that moves with the axle.
