Ground clearance (also recognized as Ride height) computes the space between the lowest spot of the vehicle’s underbody and the mark of the tires’ contact with the horizontal surface. However, the maker of the model might adopt tiny tweaks to the standard process to promote attractive stats hinting the legitimate area from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the track might be briefer than specified in the issued leaflet.
It is no surprise while practical customers chase an increased ground clearance to exclude dilemma when parking near the barriers or riding through the rugged countryside. The true ride height of the model varies from 178 to 188 mm based on the year of production and trim. Don’t forget that a well- laden vehicle will easily sacrifice about 1 inch of ground clearance.
Happily, the model ground clearance can be boosted with the help of spacers for shock absorbers to make the vehicle sit higher off the ground. While making a taller model, you abandon a fraction of the erstwhile stability and maneuverability driving fast. Contrarily model ground clearance can be shortened for refined handling and stability.
There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Nissan Murano you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
