[0002] In automobile manufacturing, the vehicle's height needs to be adjusted to ensure consistent left and right height and to maintain optimal damping and stiffness values ​​for the suspension system. Current methods involve driving the vehicle to a pit inspection station, where two workers work together. One worker in the pit loosens the eccentric bolts connecting the linkages, then gradually adjusts them. Meanwhile, a worker above the pit determines if the vehicle's height is aligned. Once aligned, the worker in the pit tightens the bolts. This process is inconvenient, requires two people, and relies on subjective judgment for height adjustment, resulting in low precision.

[0003] Therefore, a vehicle height measuring tool is needed to measure the vehicle's height. A published Chinese patent, CN203240991U, describes a height measurement method using a height indicator, a connecting device, and a qualified interval label. However, this patent has several drawbacks. First, the connecting device uses a three-pronged structure to connect to the wheel hub, but this structure is fixed, its radius is not adjustable, and the angle between the three prongs is also fixed, limiting its applicability. Second, additional connectors are needed to link the connecting device to the wheel hub. Finally, the height still needs to be determined manually by visually inspecting the label, which is affected by lighting and viewing angle, resulting in insufficient accuracy. Utility Model Content
