SCRS Quick Tip: How Ride Height and Stance Affect Calibration

In this Quick Tip video from Society of Collision Repair Specialists, Andy Tylka of TAG Autobody Group and Josh McFarlin of AirPro Diagnostics discuss why proper vehicle preparation is essential for accurate ADAS calibrations. 

They explain how factors such as tire pressure, fuel level, payload, and ride height affect a vehicle's stance and can influence calibration results. The discussion covers practical methods for compensating for missing fuel weight, the importance of removing cargo and personal items before calibration and why following OEM specifications is critical to ensuring ADAS systems perform as intended after a repair.

The video was filmed at the I-CAR Training Center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
