REPAIRING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS

EXAMPLES OF CRUSHED CAR REPAIR : Determining Repair Method

Since the impact force was not fully absorbed by the front side member, and it extended to the lower dash and front pillar, replacement of many parts was necessary.
Service parts and supply units are listed in the parts catalog published for each model. Order necessary damaged parts from the service parts catalog. (For example, for radiator core support there are side, lower and upper radiator core supports in addition to the assembly.)
