REPAIRING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS

CHECKING DAMAGE : Checking Damage

When completing body and frame repairs, the front body and underbody dimensions must be correct, because these dimensions directly affect wheel alignment and steering angles.
The degree of damage should be determined by using a steel tape, tram tracking gauge and centering gauge or other measuring device. The measuring points are shown in the Body Repair Manual for each model.
Wheel alignments are shown in the Service Manual for each model.
