Meanwhile, the invention adopts the calibration cushion block with higher precision, and the height of the calibration cushion block corresponds to the theoretical distance between the rear axle tube and the lower beneficial surface of the frame when the air suspension works in the horizontal position. And different calibration cushion blocks are adopted when different vehicle types are calibrated or different working horizontal heights are required. The invention has the self-checking error-proofing function in the calibration process, and when the calibration parameter exceeds the allowable error range, the calibration is forbidden, and the inspection of parts and assembly problems are reminded so as to eliminate the fault.
