Ground clearance (also understood as Ride height) determines the area from the lowermost tip of the vehicle’s chassis and the point of the tires’ contact with the even road. But, the maker of the model might employ tiny tricks to the established process to reveal attractive outcome suggesting the factual distance from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the road might be slighter than mentioned in the printed characteristics.
It is no wonder as long as reasonable customers strive for an enlarged ground clearance to avoid trouble when parking near the barriers or riding through the rugged terrain. The factual ride height of the model differs between 109 to 140 mm based on the year of creation and trim. Keep in mind that a well- laden transport will easily give up about 1 inch of ground clearance.
Luckily, the model ground clearance can be elaborated via spacers for shock absorbers to help the vehicle sit higher off the ground. While making a taller model, you give up a small chunk of the erstwhile stability and flexibility driving fast. By contrast model ground clearance can be lessened in favor enhanced handling and stability.
There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Audi A4 you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
