How To Determine Your Vehicle's Wheelbase
When it comes to replacing or installing lines for your vehicle—whether it’s brake lines, fuel lines, or transmission lines—knowing your vehicle’s wheelbase is essential to finding the right parts. That's why in the video below, we'll explain the importance of knowing how to measure your wheelbase accurately and why it matters during the selection and installation process of new lines.
What Is A Wheelbase?
The wheelbase is the distance between the center of the front and rear wheel hubs on your vehicle. It’s a critical measurement because it helps determine the size and fitment of lines, ensuring the lines you choose for your vehicle are the right length and won’t be stretched or pinched during installation.
How To Measure The Wheelbase On Your Vehicle
To measure the wheelbase on your vehicle:
- Park your vehicle on a flat surface.
- Use a tape measure to find the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels on one side.
- Record this measurement, which is your wheelbase.
Note: It's always a good idea to double-check your vehicle’s specifications to confirm the wheelbase before selecting new lines.
Why The Wheelbase Matters for Line Installation
Different wheelbases require different line lengths, so knowing your exact wheelbase ensures that the lines you purchase will fit correctly. Whether you're replacing brake lines, fuel lines, transmission lines, or engine oil cooler lines, knowing the length of your wheelbase will help you find the right parts and make them easier to install.
