Ground clearance (also known as Ride height) denotes the distance from the lowermost mark of the car’s chassis and the mark of the tires’ touch with the level area. However, the manufacturer of the model might adopt little cheats to the established operations to make sweet number meaning the valid area from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the terrain might be lesser than mentioned in the official manual.
It is no surprise since practical shoppers chase an enlarged ground clearance to rule out issues when parking near the high edges or driving through the rocky landscape. The precise ride height of the model fluctuates between 140 to 170 mm depending on the year of creation and trim. Take into consideration that a well- loaded vehicle will certainly lose about 1 inch of ground clearance.
Luckily, the model ground clearance can be raised by using spacers for shock absorbers to make the car remain higher off the ground. While getting a higher model, you lose a fraction of the erstwhile balance and maneuverability in angled turns. On the other side model ground clearance can be trimmed in favor refined handling and stability.
There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Honda Odyssey you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
