Ground clearance Kia cerate or ground clearance, just like for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. Precisely the state pavement or its complete absence makes Russian motorists interested in the clearance of Kia Cerato and the possibility of increasing ground clearance with the help of spacers, reinforced springs and even autobuffers.
To begin with, it is worth saying honestly that real ground clearance Kia cerate may differ significantly from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measurement and the place of measurement of ground clearance. So find out real situation affairs can only be armed with a tape measure or ruler. Official clearance Cerato the first generation, which appeared on the market since 2004, was 160 mm. Second and third generation sedan from 2008 and 2013 onwards. has the same clearance equal to 150 mm. The restyling of Cerato in 2016 for the ground clearance passed without changes, all the same 150 mm are declared.
Some manufacturers go to the trick and declare the amount of ground clearance in an “empty” car, but in real life we have a trunk full of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, in a loaded car, the clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people have in mind is the age of the car and the wear of the springs, their “sagging” from old age. The issue is solved by installing new springs or buying spacers under sagging springs kia cerate. Spacers allow you to compensate for the drawdown of the springs and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the curb plays an important role.
But do not get carried away with the “lift” of the ground clearance of the Kia Cerato, because the spacers to increase the clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the course of which is often very limited, then self-upgrading the suspension can lead to loss of control and damage to the shock absorbers. From a cross-country point of view ground clearance in our harsh conditions, this is good, but on high speeds on the track and in the corners there is a serious buildup and additional body roll.
Mainly used for cerate reinforced springs with increased bar thickness and slightly longer length. In some cases, so-called urethane autobuffers are installed. Interturn autobuffers mainly come to us from Korea, where they are produced. How does it work Cerato pendant after such an upgrade, watch the video below.
Any car manufacturer, when designing a suspension and choosing a clearance value, is looking for golden mean between handling and maneuverability. Perhaps the easiest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase the clearance is to install wheels with “high” rubber. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase ground clearance by another centimeter. Do not forget that a serious change in clearance can damage the CV joints Kia Cerato. After all, the “grenades” will have to work a little from a different angle. But this only applies to the front axle.
