REPAIRING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS

DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS : Key Points in Choosing Repair Methods

Do not reduce strength when repairing panels. Avoid excessive hammering which may lead to extending the panel.
Also avoid prolonged heating.
Do not increase the strength of impact absorbing portions unnecessarily. Do not patch these parts.
Choose a method for properly aligning the body.
For example, if changing the front side member of an FF car, it is recommended that the front suspension mounting member be left alone.
Examine carefully how past collision damage was repaired. This is necessary to properly decide the range to be repaired.
