ADJUSTMENTS

Underbody Misalignment Check

The dimensions of the underbody must be restored in repairing major body damage to provide correct front and rear wheel geometry. Refer to the Underbody Dimensions diagram for the underbody dimensions. All the dimensions are detailed to the centerline of existing holes in the underbody assembly. Once the frame and suspension members are aligned, other operations in this section can be performed.

 

Underbody Dimensions

NOTE: All dimensions are true point-to-point in inches. Measuring can be performed using the Rotunda Complete Laser Measuring System 190-01025 or equivalent.

Door openings are checked in the same manner as the body. Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal checking points are established on all four sides of the door opening that is being measured.
