Amazon: - Ride height

How or where do you check ride height on an Amazon wagon? Is there a factory check point ?

Measure from the centre of the grease cap to the lip of the wheel arch

According to the Autocar road test ground clearance at the front cross member is 7". At the back axle I think it is 9". Springs sag with age.
Dai's method or from the centre of the arch to the ground is fine for checking but only if you know what that measurement should be!

Using the load height dimension I'm sitting 90mm lower than standard on 40mm lowering springs I'm not unhappy with how it sits just surprised as it does not look over lowered think il check tyres for diameter but I can't see it making 50mm difference

My method takes out any variation is tyre size and tyre pressure.

Off the top of my head the original dimension is 460mm but don't hold me to it
